How GigShield works for Amazon Flex workers
- 1
Log your delivery blocks
Add Flex blocks manually or let GigShield track your mileage automatically. With 300+ miles per week, auto-tracking makes a significant difference.
- 2
Your biggest deduction is mileage
At 300 miles per week, that's over £7,000 in annual deductions at 45p/mile before you've claimed a single receipt. GigShield logs every mile.

Ready for self-assessment or MTD
Download an HMRC-ready expense report or let GigShield submit your quarterly MTD updates automatically so you're never scrambling at year end.
Important — HMRC
Amazon Flex pays you directly as a self-employed contractor, and your annual Flex earnings are subject to self-assessment. Amazon also reports earnings data to HMRC under DAC7 platform reporting rules. With typical Flex mileage exceeding 300 miles per week, your mileage deduction alone can significantly reduce your tax bill — but only if you have a documented record. GigShield creates that record automatically.
