Claiming eligible expenses is crucial for reducing your taxable income, including income tax and national insurance. Here's a comprehensive guide to common expenses:
To prepare your tax return effectively, you must maintain:
Showing all Bolt earnings and business transactions.
For all business-related expenses (fuel, repairs, insurance, etc.).
We recommend using a business bank account to separate personal and professional transactions, making it easier to track your finances.
Following these best practices will help you maintain good standing with HMRC:
Report all earnings from Bolt and other sources. Never underestimate your income.
Keep all receipts and bank statements, digitally or physically, for at least 5 years.
Submit your Self Assessment on time (by 31st January) to avoid penalties starting from £100.
Only claim expenses that are solely for business purposes. Mixed use may be partially claimable.
Set aside a portion of your earnings each month to cover your tax bill or make advance payments to HMRC. This will help you avoid financial strain during tax season.
Recommended: Save 25-30% of your monthly income for tax obligations.
The Bolt Driver Tax Check Code is a mandatory requirement introduced by HMRC for drivers renewing their private hire or taxi licences.
This code confirms that your tax affairs are up to date with HMRC. It's required when renewing your private hire or taxi licence.
Visit the HMRC website and sign in using your Government Gateway credentials. If you don't have an account, you will need to register for one.
Follow the prompts to complete a short online questionnaire about your self-employment and tax status.
Once you've completed the process, HMRC will issue a unique Tax Check Code that's valid for 120 days.
Submit this code when renewing your private hire or taxi licence with your local authority.
At Taxwise Accountancy, we assist Bolt drivers with understanding this process, ensuring your accounts are up to date so the Tax Check can be completed without issues.
Please note: While we cannot generate the code on your behalf due to HMRC regulations, we're here to guide you every step of the way and ensure your tax records are in perfect order.

Book Your Free ConsultationThe Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative by HMRC is a major change to the way self-employed individuals, including Bolt drivers, manage and report their taxes.
Its goal is to simplify tax compliance and reduce errors by requiring the use of digital tools for record-keeping and tax submissions.
Bolt drivers must maintain digital records of their income and expenses. This means:
Instead of filing an annual Self Assessment, MTD requires Bolt drivers to:
At the end of the tax year, drivers will need to file a final declaration (similar to a Self Assessment tax return) to confirm their income and calculate the final tax liability.
While MTD for VAT has been mandatory since April 2019, MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) will be introduced for Bolt drivers and other self-employed individuals with incomes over £50,000 starting from April 2026. Those earning between £30,000 and £50,000 will follow from April 2027.
Use MTD-compliant accounting software to manage your records and submit updates to HMRC.
Familiarize yourself with quarterly reporting requirements and deadlines.
An experienced accountant can help you transition smoothly to MTD, ensuring compliance while saving you time and effort.
At Taxwise Accountancy, we provide specialized support for Bolt drivers navigating MTD. From setting up digital tools to managing quarterly submissions, we make the transition hassle-free, so you can focus on driving.
