The Eazi Way
What is Flat Rate VAT?
Flat Rate VAT is an HMRC-approved way to handle VAT.
Instead of calculating VAT on every cost, you:
- Charge VAT on your fares
- Pay HMRC a fixed, lower percentage
- Keep the difference
For many Uber drivers, this means less VAT paid overall.
Why drivers choose Flat Rate VAT
For eligible drivers, it can mean:
- ✔ Less VAT paid to HMRC
- ✔ Simple, predictable payments
- ✔ Less paperwork
- ✔ Better cash flow
Every driver is different, but many see a real financial benefit.
Driver Fees:
- £100 plus VAT (one off) for registration only, including onboarding and all requirements of professional and legal requirements. i.e. anti-money laundering, Know Your Client obligations, right to work etc.
- £55 plus VAT per month for: VAT return data capture, Bookkeeping, VAT returns prep and production and final year accounts (tax return) (Fully Inclusive Fee)
- £35 plus VAT per month for: VAT only return Including all bookkeeping (other ride hailer only income)
Thousands of drivers trust us with their taxes each year
“I’ve been with Eazitax since Gary was working from a building at the end of his garden over 20 years ago! Nothing is ever a problem, they are more than helpful. I give them my stuff, they put together a tax return for me. They just make it really easy. I’ve recommended them to countless people and will continue to do so.”
Michael C, Driver
“Everybody is warm and friendly, as soon as I walk into the office I feel welcome. My old accountant was a nice enough guy but the service was completely impersonal. I felt like a number and a bill at the end of the year. Honestly, Eazitax is like a different world. Nothing is too much trouble. I had a HMRC problem and they dealt with it right away. Sounds cheesy, but they make life very easy.”
David B, Driver
