How GigShield works for Just Eat workers
- 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
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
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.
