Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions self-employed HGV drivers, agency contractors and owner-operators ask about specialist accounting.
How does IR35 affect HGV drivers?
IR35 determines whether agency drivers through limited companies are taxed as employees. Inside IR35 severely restricts expense claims. Outside allows full deductions. Status depends on control, substitution and financial risk.
What subsistence can HGV drivers claim?
Self-employed drivers can claim overnight accommodation and reasonable meal costs when away from home on business. HMRC benchmark rates apply. Keep receipts and records of each overnight stop.
Are CPC and licence costs deductible?
Yes. Driver CPC periodic training, CPC card renewal, LGV licence fees, theory and practical tests, D4 medical examinations and tachograph card fees are all deductible for self-employed HGV drivers.
Should drivers use sole trader or limited?
Sole trader is simpler with fewer obligations. A limited company offers tax savings through salary and dividends but adds filing requirements. The right choice depends on income and IR35 status.
What other expenses can drivers claim?
Safety boots, high-vis clothing, sat nav subscriptions, route planning apps, mobile phone costs, accountancy fees, insurance premiums and professional memberships are all deductible against driving income.
Can ABM support HGV drivers nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves HGV drivers across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to owner-operators, agency drivers and limited company contractors.
