Expenses
What Deliveroo riders can claim
You can claim costs that are wholly and exclusively for your delivery work. For a car, van or motorcycle, use HMRC’s flat mileage rate or your actual costs, not both.
- Cars and vans: 55p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles in 2026/27
- Motorcycles: 24p a mile
- Bicycles: no flat rate, so claim the business share of your actual costs, such as repairs and parts
- Parking on a delivery, your kit and the business share of your phone
Pick the plan that fits
Most riders only need Solo. Prices include VAT.

Deliveroo rider questions
Do Deliveroo riders pay tax?
Yes. As a Deliveroo rider you’re self-employed, so tax isn’t taken from your pay. You pay Income Tax and National Insurance on your profit through a Self Assessment tax return.
Do I need to register as self-employed?
Yes, if your gross trading income is more than £1,000 in a tax year. Register with HMRC for Self Assessment by 5 October after the tax year ends.
What expenses can a Deliveroo rider claim?
Costs that are wholly and exclusively for your delivery work, such as mileage, parking on a delivery, your delivery kit and the business share of your phone. If you claim the flat mileage rate for a vehicle, you can’t also claim its running costs.
How much mileage can I claim?
For 2026/27 it is 55p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles in a car or van and 25p after that, and 24p a mile for a motorcycle. Your 2025/26 tax return uses 45p for cars and vans. There is no flat rate for a bicycle, so you claim the business share of what it actually costs you, such as repairs and parts.
I ride for other apps too. Is that supported?
Yes. Record your income from every app in Kletta, and your tax return covers all of it.
Do Deliveroo riders need Making Tax Digital?
Only if your self-employment and property income is over the threshold: £50,000 since April 2026, £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. Below that you send a Self Assessment tax return as before.
