Review outgoing payments, choose Business or Personal, and save approved business costs as expense entries. Your original CSV is kept privately with your account. Automatic bank connections are not currently available.

How does automatic mileage tracking work?

TaxBuddie records GPS work mileage during an active shift. You can also use odometer readings, enter mileage manually or add a standalone business journey with a purpose and an optional job link.

What does TaxBuddie Pro add?

Pro adds unlimited standard expenses, 30 receipt scans per month, recurring expenses, remembered bank CSV choices, True Profit estimates, advanced insights, work goals and supported smart reminders. Free includes unlimited shifts and mileage, CSV report exports, trade job records, three standard expenses and five receipt scans per month. You can explore Pro with a 14-day trial.

Do my records sync between the app and website?

Yes. Use the same account on web, iPhone and Android to access synced shifts, mileage, expenses, receipts, jobs and bank payment review progress.

Can I manage trade jobs, quotes and invoices?

Yes. The Trades workspace keeps customer details, job status, materials, receipt evidence, quotes, invoices, payment status and job margins together. Mobile invoice PDFs can be shared with customers.

Does TaxBuddie submit tax returns or MTD updates?

No. TaxBuddie provides record keeping and CSV exports. It does not submit tax returns or MTD updates to HMRC. MTD Tax Centre and Accountant Access are planned features, not currently available tools.

What You Can Do In The App

Track Every Shift Properly

Start a live shift, log apps used, update running earnings, save fuel fill-ups, and finish with start/end mileage and final totals.

Log Expenses And Mileage

Add one-off or recurring expenses, record business mileage, attach receipts and edit saved entries later.

Review Reports In Seconds

See weekly, monthly, quarterly, tax-year, or all-time figures for earnings, expenses, miles, net profit, hourly rate, and tax pot guidance.

Catch Missing Records

Get helpful prompts for weeks without itemised expenses, overlooked travel or phone costs, and expense entries that are still missing receipt evidence.

Set Goals And Stay Consistent

Set weekly or monthly earnings, mileage, and hours goals, follow progress in Reports, and use optional weekly, peak-time, and end-of-day reminders.

Common Questions

Do gig-app workers need Self Assessment?

Gig-app driving and delivery can be self-employment. If your combined gross trading income is more than £1,000 in a tax year, you will usually need to tell HMRC. Use the official HMRC checker because your circumstances can change the answer.

When do I need to register?

If you need to complete a return and have not sent one before, HMRC says to tell them by 5 October after the relevant tax year. Registering and filing are separate steps.

Is TaxBuddie only for delivery riders?

No. TaxBuddie is built for UK gig workers including delivery riders, couriers, taxi drivers, private-hire drivers, and other self-employed drivers who need cleaner work records.

Can TaxBuddie help with Self Assessment records?

Yes. TaxBuddie helps organise earnings, mileage, expenses, receipts, and exportable summaries so your Self Assessment records are easier to review, share, and file.

Does it support HMRC mileage records?

Yes. You can record mileage and use HMRC mileage-style records alongside normal business costs like phone, insurance, equipment, software, and vehicle expenses.

Does it sync across devices?

Yes. Your records are linked to one account, so shifts, earnings, mileage, expenses, receipts, and reports can follow you across supported browsers and devices.

Which apps can I use it with?

TaxBuddie works with mixed-app income across delivery, courier, taxi, private-hire, and other self-employed driving work.

Do I need Pro straight away?

No. Unlimited live shift and mileage tracking are free. Start the 14-day Pro trial only when you want advanced reports, higher expense and receipt limits, imports, exports, reminders and other Pro tools.
