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.

This is the most common practical problem in January and it is entirely avoidable in April. Nobody discovers a missing statement at a convenient time.
Where each one keeps it
| Platform | Where the earnings history lives |
|---|---|
| Amazon Flex | In the app, under earnings, plus emailed statements |
| Uber and Uber Eats | The partner web portal, which holds more history than the app and produces tax summaries |
| Deliveroo | The rider app and the rider hub, as weekly invoices |
| Just Eat | The courier app and the courier portal, as weekly statements |
| Evri | The courier portal, as weekly self-billing statements |
| Bolt | The driver portal, weekly |
| Stuart | The courier dashboard, weekly |
Portals hold more than apps, almost universally. If a platform has a web portal, that is where to go.
Do this monthly
- Once a month, open each platform you worked on and download the statements for that month.
- Save them somewhere that is not the app and not your phone alone. A dated folder is enough.
- Record the gross figure and the fees separately, because the return needs both.
- Note anything unusual: an adjustment, a deduction, a bonus paid late.
- At the tax year end, add the months and check the total against your own records before it goes anywhere near a return.
What to do with them
Add the gross figures across every platform for the tax year. That is your turnover. The fees each platform took are expenses. What HMRC asks for on your return covers where each figure goes.
If you are on more than one app, keeping them in one place as you go is considerably easier than reconciling four sets of weekly statements in January. That is what the shift log in JoltMile is for, and it exports as CSV or JSON so the record is yours rather than ours.

Common questions
- How far back do the apps keep my earnings?
- It varies and none of them commits to keeping it as long as HMRC requires you to. Some show a rolling window of weeks or months. Download as you go rather than relying on the app being a filing cabinet.
- What do I do if I have been deactivated?
- Ask for your data under UK GDPR. A subject access request obliges the platform to provide the personal data it holds, including earnings history, usually within a month. It is slower than a download and it works when the app will not open.
- Do I need the statement if I have bank records?
- Bank records show what landed. They do not show the fee the platform took, and turnover is the figure before the fee. You need the statement to report correctly.
- Which figure from the statement goes on my return?
- The gross figure, before commission or service fees. The fees are then claimed separately as an expense.
- What if two platforms use different tax years?
- Platforms report on their own weekly or monthly cycles and none of them lines up with 6 April to 5 April. Split the boundary weeks yourself rather than using a platform's annual summary as though it were a tax year.

Record keeping, and how long to keep it
You have to keep enough to show how every figure on your return was arrived at: what you were paid, what you spent, and how far you drove for the work. Records have to be kept for 5 years after the filing deadline for the year they cover.

What HMRC asks for on your return, box by box
Most drivers file the short self-employment pages, which want four things: your turnover, your allowable expenses, your taxable profit, and the dates you traded. Everything else on the form either does not apply or follows from those.

Turnover
Turnover is everything you earned from the work before a single cost comes off. For a gig driver that is the gross figure on the platform statement, including tips and including the fees the platform took.

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.

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.
