The questions we hear most from drivers who work for themselves, whether that's in Amsterdam or anywhere else in the country.
Payouts that never match my rides
How much VAT do I owe?
My car costs me a fortune
Logging rides on top of driving
A taxi business revolves around rides, payouts and the car. These are the points we go through with every driver.
Passenger transport usually falls under the 9% VAT rate. We calculate the VAT on your full fare income, even when the platform takes commission first, and make sure the VAT on your costs is offset.
Your car is your most important asset and your biggest cost. We look at how best to include it in your books, process the depreciation and check whether the investment deduction is possible.
Every platform and dispatch company settles up in its own way. We match the payouts to the statements, so your turnover, the commission withheld and your VAT all add up.
Your turnover has to match your rides. We help you keep the data from your on-board computer and apps so that your books and your returns can be backed up.

You don't have to explain how a platform statement works or why you're paid in cash and by card. Your dedicated contact knows your situation and thinks ahead.
Take a photo of a fuel receipt or garage invoice in the MyTaxMate app and we process it. Your bank is linked, so your transactions are already there.
A question about a new car or an odd statement costs you nothing extra. You get an answer within 24 hours and know in advance what you pay each month.

Translated from DutchPassenger transport is usually taxed at the 9% VAT rate. If you also take on other jobs, such as parcel deliveries, a different rate may apply. We look together at the kinds of rides you do.
As a self-employed driver you are generally an entrepreneur for VAT yourself, even if you drive through a platform. The platform usually takes a commission and sends you a statement for it. We make sure your fare income, the commission and your VAT end up correctly in your return.
The running costs of your taxi usually count as business expenses, and you depreciate the purchase over a number of years. If you also use the car privately, that affects your tax. We look at how that works out in your situation.
Cash takings belong in your books just as much as payments through the app or by card. We help you find a simple way to record them, so your turnover matches your rides.
You pay a fixed monthly price that covers your VAT return, income tax, annual accounts and advice, with no set-up costs and cancellable monthly. Which package suits you is on the pricing page, or you'll hear it in the introductory call.
Book a free 30-minute introductory call. We go through your situation, from your platforms to your car, and you'll hear straight away what we do for you and what it costs.
