How do I handle tax when I work for several apps?
One business, one return. Add all the income together, claim your expenses and mileage once across the lot, and file a single Self Assessment.
Last checked 12/09/2026.
HMRC sees one self-employed business, not one per app. Everything the platforms paid you goes in together, your expenses come off the total, and you file one return.
The 10,000 mile threshold is per person per tax year, across all of it. Six thousand miles on Flex and five thousand on Uber Eats means you crossed the threshold, even though neither on its own would have.
The same is true of the trading allowance and the Making Tax Digital thresholds. They look at your total turnover, so working three apps that each paid you modestly can still put you well past them.
What is worth keeping separate is your own reporting. Knowing which app pays you best per hour is the whole reason to track by platform, and it changes nothing about the tax return.
JoltMile tags every shift with its platform, keeps one running mileage total across all of them for the threshold, and can filter your figures by platform when you want to compare.

When each app pays you, and why the date matters for tax
Most apps pay weekly, on different days, with a fee to get it sooner. Evri pays monthly. The pay date decides how much cash you need in reserve and, at the start and end of the year, which tax year the money falls in.

What the platforms tell HMRC about your earnings
Since 2024 every delivery and ride app has to collect your tax details and report what it paid you to HMRC once a year. There is no minimum for services. Here is what is reported, when, why it will not match your return, and what to do with the copy you are sent.

Getting your earnings statements out of each app
Every platform holds your earnings history somewhere and none of them keeps it forever. Download a statement every month, in the app or on the partner web portal, and keep it outside the app. A deactivated account is an account you cannot get history out of.
