As an Uber driver, record keeping is a critical aspect of managing your finances and preparing your tax return. Here are some tips for effective record keeping:
Keep all your receipts: Keep all your receipts for business-related expenses, such as fuel, vehicle maintenance, and other costs. You can also take pictures of your receipts using your phone and store them digitally.
Keep a logbook: Keep a logbook to track your business mileage, including the date, time, starting and ending locations, and the purpose of the journey. This will help you to claim a tax deduction for business mileage.
Use accounting software: Consider using accounting software to help you keep track of your income and expenses. This will help you to stay organized and make it easier to prepare your tax return.
Separate business and personal expenses: Keep your business expenses separate from your personal expenses to make it easier to track your business finances.
Bank statements: Keep copies of all your bank statements, which will show your Uber income and any expenses you have paid.
Keep records for six years: HMRC requires you to keep all your tax records for six years, so make sure to keep your records for this length of time.
