Scattered delivery records? FlowForm fixes it.
FlowFormTax is the UK's Pre-Accounting Platform. For couriers and delivery drivers, it brings payouts from Uber, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon Flex, Stuart and Evri into one organised record — alongside fuel, mileage and vehicle costs — so your books are accountant-ready before tax season starts.
Why couriers struggle with record organisation
Delivery work doesn't pay you the way a single employer would. Income arrives from several platforms, on different schedules, in different formats. Costs are spread across fuel stations, garages, insurers and parking apps. Nothing structures it for you — and HMRC still expects clean records.
Uber, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon Flex, Stuart, Evri — different cycles, different statements, different fee structures. Reconciling them by hand takes hours.
Mileage is one of the biggest allowable claims for drivers — and the easiest to lose. Without a running log, the year-end estimate guesses away real money.
Fuel receipts, repair invoices, breakdown cover, tyres, MOT, parking, tolls — half on paper, half in email. By January, most are gone.
A box of paperwork in late January is not a tax strategy. It's a recipe for missed expenses, higher bills and stressed accountants.
How FlowFormTax helps
The same four-stage pre-accounting workflow applies to every audience. Here is what it looks like for couriers and delivery drivers.
- 1. Capture scattered records
Log every payout as it lands — by platform, date and amount. Cash tips and one-off jobs go in the same place.
- 2. Organised
Income is separated by source. Vehicle, fuel and admin costs are split from personal spending and tagged for tax.
- 3. MTD-ready
Records stay dated, digital and continuous throughout the year — not assembled the night before a deadline.
- 4. Accountant-ready
Export a clean CSV by quarter or by tax year. Your accountant — or your Xero/QuickBooks setup — starts from organised data.
Common courier expense categories
FlowFormTax ships with categories built around how self-employed drivers actually spend money. If you use the actual-costs method for your vehicle, these are the buckets your accountant will be looking for.
Petrol, diesel and EV charging — business-use share.
Date, route, business miles. Alternative to actual costs.
Garage bills, parts, tyres, brakes, breakdown cover.
Hire-and-reward or courier insurance, VED, breakdown.
Including app-based parking and Dart/ULEZ charges.
Service fees, delivery bags, phone mounts, work phone share.
Allowable expenses depend on your circumstances. FlowFormTax organises the records; your accountant confirms what you can claim.
Why pre-accounting matters for drivers
Driver records are naturally scattered — payouts arrive from several apps, and vehicle costs sit across paper receipts and email. Accounting and tax software work best when those underlying records are already organised. Pre-accounting is the layer that gets them there.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax begins phasing in from April 2026. Self-employed drivers above the income thresholds will need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC. FlowFormTax keeps those records MTD-ready throughout the year — not stitched together in the final week.
Working with your accountant
FlowFormTax does not replace your accountant. It feeds them — so they spend less time chasing missing receipts and more time on the things you actually pay them for: deciding mileage versus actual costs, optimising allowances, and filing your return.
The platform is built with accountant oversight. Categories and exports are structured to match how UK self-assessment and MTD for Income Tax returns are actually filed, so handover is a CSV — not a conversation about shoeboxes.
