FAQ

Questions & answers

Is DrivePro a replacement for an accountant?
For day-to-day bookkeeping, yes. DrivePro automatically records your lesson income, lets you log expenses and mileage, and produces the summaries you need for quarterly MTD filing. Most driving instructors find they no longer need an accountant for routine record-keeping. For complex tax situations — capital allowances, partnership structures, or year-end tax planning — an accountant can still add value, but DrivePro handles the 90% of bookkeeping that used to eat your evenings.
How does mileage tracking work?
DrivePro supports both HMRC simplified mileage expenses and actual vehicle cost tracking. With simplified expenses, you log your business miles and DrivePro applies HMRC's approved rates (45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, 25p thereafter). Alternatively, you can track actual costs — fuel, insurance, maintenance, depreciation — and claim the business-use proportion. Each lesson in your diary can have mileage attached, so your records are always linked to real lessons.
What expense categories are available?
DrivePro includes all the categories relevant to driving instructors: fuel, vehicle insurance, car maintenance and repairs, MOT and road tax, phone and data, dual controls and vehicle adaptations, training and CPD courses, advertising, professional subscriptions, and a general category for other allowable business expenses. Categories are aligned with HMRC's self-employment expense classifications so your records are always filing-ready.
Does the financial tracking work with Making Tax Digital?
Yes — it's designed to. Your income, expenses, and mileage all feed directly into your MTD quarterly submissions. When it's time to file, DrivePro compiles everything into the format HMRC requires and submits it via their API. There's no re-entering figures or exporting to a separate tool. The financials page is the foundation that powers your MTD filing.
Can I export my financial data?
Yes. You can export your income, expenses, and summaries for any date range. Exports are available in formats suitable for sharing with an accountant or importing into other tools. Your data is always yours — DrivePro makes it easy to get it out whenever you need it.
