How GigShield works for Just Eat workers

  1. 1

    Log every delivery trip

    Add your delivery miles manually or connect your Just Eat account. GigShield applies the 45p/mile HMRC rate — including for cyclists, who can claim the same rate.

  2. 2

    Track all equipment and running costs

    Photograph receipts for your delivery bag, helmet, phone mount, and bike repairs. GigShield stores them and deducts the right amounts automatically.

  3. 3

    Export at tax time — done in minutes

    Download a clean expense report for your self-assessment, or use GigShield's MTD submission to file quarterly automatically.

Important — HMRC

Just Eat reports your courier earnings to HMRC annually under DAC7 platform reporting rules. Even if you only do a few deliveries a week, if your total self-employment income exceeds £1,000 in a tax year you must declare it and file self-assessment. The good news: every documented expense reduces your tax bill. GigShield keeps that record automatically.
