For Delivery Drivers
You deliver for Deliveroo, Uber Eats or Just Eat.
Revenue expects a tax return every year.
Working as a delivery driver in Ireland means you are self-employed. That means you are responsible for filing your own tax return — every single year. Most drivers don't know this until Revenue sends a notice.

What most delivery drivers don't know
- When you sign up to Deliveroo, Uber Eats or Just Eat, the platforms start reporting your earnings to Revenue — but the self-employed registration must be done by you. Until that is in place, you are not compliant.
- Every year you earn income as a driver, you must file a tax return — even if you also have a PAYE job.
- Not filing on time results in penalties, interest charges and a growing debt with Revenue.
- Many drivers have 2, 3 or more years of unfiled returns. The sooner you sort it, the easier it is to resolve.
- To access government housing programmes such as Cost Rental, you must be fully up to date with Revenue.
- If you plan to buy a home with a mortgage in the future, Revenue will require all your tax returns to be in order before any approval.
- If you are planning to apply for Irish citizenship, being compliant with Revenue is a fundamental requirement.
The good news: you can deduct a lot
As a self-employed delivery driver, many of your work costs can be deducted from your taxable income — which means less tax to pay.
- Fuel or electricity (for e-bikes and electric vehicles)
- Motorcycle, bike or scooter maintenance and repairs
- Vehicle insurance related to work use
- Mobile phone (work portion)
- Delivery bag and equipment
- Protective jacket, helmet and work gear
- And a longer list of additional deductions depending on your specific situation
