Whether you run a trucking business or are self-employed, you need to submit a Self Assessment tax return. On top of your long working days, managing your own books and submitting a Self Assessment return can seem overwhelming. Bring in a TaxBite accountant to look after your books instead.

As a business, having the right insurance is crucial. Without the relevant insurance, you are opening your business up to cover a massive cost if something were to go wrong. Our accountants can assist your company in getting set up and remaining industry compliant.

To comply with the incoming Making Tax Digital (MTD) legislation, rolling out officially in April 2026, businesses and self-employed truckers must digitally manage their bookkeeping, Payroll and submission of their company or personal returns.
While it will soon be law, using accounting software is currently fully optional. The benefit of using the software now is that truckers can say goodbye to lots of manual work while knowing they’re prepared well in advance of April 2026. Ensuring everything is kept digitally will also help you if HMRC ever decides to audit you or your company.
Below we’ve outlined the features and benefits of some of our favourite MTD-approved accounting software, suitable for truckers themselves or those working within a business in the trucking industry.
If you want to get rid of the countless receipts that build up and scatter across your dashboard, using FreeAgent might just be the answer you’ve been looking for. Record expenses and upload pictures of your receipts straight to the software to maintain a good digital record.
A massive plus for those who bank with NatWest, RBS, Mettle or Ulster is that you get to use FreeAgent for free.
With QuickBooks accounting software, you can manage your payroll and expenses at the click of a button. Their jargon-free guides provide support to match their top-quality agent support, so you can rest assured knowing they’ll help you every step of the way.
For those running a business in the trucking industry, FreshBooks has been created especially for you. Send clients fully-customised invoices, making it easy and convenient for them to pay you on time.
Not only does Xero software offer a free 30-day trial, but it also happens to be the most popular accounting software out there. And with the convenience of digitally tracking your expenses, processing invoices, and accepting online payments, we think it’s easy to see why.
