Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment
HMRC is changing how self-employed taxi drivers report their income. Instead of one annual tax return, Making Tax Digital (MTD) requires quarterly digital updates through approved software. This applies whether you drive for Uber, Bolt, work with a local firm, or operate independently.
What Income Counts Toward MTD Thresholds?
Your Total Taxi Earnings Determine When MTD Requirements Begin
Qualifying income means your gross taxi earnings before expenses and property businesses. This includes all fares from apps, card payments, cash jobs, and any other self-employed driving income. It does NOT include wages from employed work (PAYE), pension income, or savings interest.
