How GigShield works for Evri workers

  1. 1

    Log your Evri delivery miles

    Add your daily round mileage manually or in bulk. GigShield applies the HMRC 45p/mile rate and tracks your cumulative total — critical when you cross the 10,000 mile threshold mid-year.

  2. 2

    Track van and running costs

    Photograph receipts for fuel, servicing, insurance, PPE, and equipment. GigShield categorises them correctly and deducts the right amounts from your taxable profit.

  3. 3

    Export for self-assessment or file via MTD

    Download an HMRC-ready expense report for your accountant, or use GigShield's MTD submission to file quarterly automatically.

Important — HMRC

Evri (formerly Hermes) treats its couriers as self-employed contractors, and your earnings are subject to self-assessment. Under DAC7 platform reporting rules effective from 2025, Evri is required to share your annual earnings data with HMRC. That means HMRC already has your income figure — your documented expenses are what reduce your taxable profit. GigShield builds that record automatically as you work.
