Every Self Assessment, expense claim and tax return is handled accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions self-employed couriers, delivery drivers and courier company owners ask about specialist accounting.
How is multi-platform courier income reported?
All delivery platform earnings count as one self-employment income stream. Register once with HMRC and report combined income from all platforms on a single Self Assessment return.
Should I claim mileage or actual costs?
Mileage allowance at 45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles is simpler but covers all vehicle costs. Actual costs may yield higher deductions for high-mileage drivers.
Can I claim for buying a van?
Yes. Under cash basis, the full van cost is claimed as an allowable expense in the purchase year. Under traditional accounting, vans qualify for 100% Annual Investment Allowance.
What happens when tax exceeds £1,000?
HMRC requires payments on account towards the following year, due 31 January and 31 July. These advance payments catch new drivers off guard, so budgeting early is essential.
What courier expenses are deductible?
Vehicle costs, fuel, insurance, repairs, delivery bags, phone mounts, protective clothing, goods in transit cover, platform fees and professional memberships are all deductible against courier income.
Can ABM support courier drivers nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves courier services across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to self-employed drivers, delivery riders and courier companies.
