Just Eat Mileage Tracker Guide

What a mileage tracker should record

A useful log identifies when, where and why the journey happened. Keep the date, business purpose, vehicle, distance and supporting evidence such as an odometer reading or route trace. A platform activity screen can support the record but may not cover every eligible or ineligible leg.

Do not duplicate mixed-platform miles

If one shift includes Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo orders, record the real journey once and tag the platforms used. Do not multiply the same distance by the number of apps that were online. Keep earnings by platform separately so the financial record can still be reconciled.

Journey boundaries need context

Travel between deliveries can look different from travel from home to a regular workplace. Eligibility is fact-specific, so record the purpose rather than letting GPS distance make the tax decision. If a depot, zone or waiting area functions as a regular workplace, get guidance for your circumstances.

Simplified vehicle expenses

For eligible self-employed work in 2026/27, HMRC’s simplified rates are 55p per business mile for the first 10,000 miles in cars and goods vehicles, 25p after that, and 24p for motorcycles. The 10,000-mile band applies across the qualifying business use of the same trade, not separately to each app.

Use the mileage calculator to estimate the potential deduction. Employees and cyclists follow different rules.

A simple weekly routine

1. Start a shift record before work travel begins.
2. Record all platforms used during the shift.
3. Stop the shift and review the route, distance and purpose.
4. Correct gaps while the journey is still fresh.
5. Reconcile the week with platform statements and fuel or charging records.
