FOR SELF-EMPLOYED MOBILE MECHANICS
From servicing visits to repair jobs, keep customer payments, business expenses and receipts together. See an estimate of your tax.
No monthly subscription. No bank connection.
Sole trader, we’ve got your back.
A customer pays after a repair. You pick up parts for tomorrow’s job and replace a tool on the way home. Keeping each payment and purchase clear can be another job in itself.
TaxSnapper gives you one place to record what came in and what you spent, so bookkeeping doesn’t become another job when you get home.
Record income from servicing, repairs and mobile callouts as customers pay you.
Add cash and bank transfer payments yourself. Review your recorded business income and expenses without piecing together job notes and receipts.
Useful for: keeping payments organised across several repair and servicing jobs.
Record relevant business purchases such as parts, tools and consumables. Photograph receipts and attach them to the expense between jobs.
Look back over your transactions and find attached receipts when you need them. For costs shared between work and personal use, record the appropriate business share.
Useful for: those small purchases between jobs that are easy to forget.
Busy weeks feel better when you have a clearer view of your business figures. TaxSnapper uses your recorded income and expenses to show an estimate of your tax.
Check your estimate as you add records, helping you plan ahead instead of leaving everything until Self Assessment.
Your estimate depends on accurate records and your circumstances. It is a guide, rather than a final HMRC calculation.
Less chasing receipts. Less adding up at the last minute. For mobile mechanics, TaxSnapper turns the income and expenses you record throughout the year into clear reports you can use when tax paperwork comes round.
End of year Self Assessment report
Bring your recorded business income, expenses and profit together for the tax year. Use the figures to help complete the self-employment part of your Self Assessment return, or share them with your accountant.
Quarterly reports
Export your recorded income and expense figures for each quarter. Review your business as you go and share your records with your accountant or use them with compatible software as part of your Making Tax Digital preparation.

Keep your records up to date today, so there is less to sort out at the deadline. TaxSnapper provides reports and exports; your tax return and MTD updates are submitted separately through the appropriate service, compatible software or your accountant.
Connect each callout payment with the parts and business costs you paid. A customer invoice, supplier receipt and payment reference together give you a much clearer record than the bank statement alone.
You receive £300 for a repair and pay £90 for qualifying parts plus £10 of other allowable consumables. Starting profit is £200 before travel, equipment, overheads and tax. If the customer buys a part directly, do not claim it as a cost you paid.
Large tools and diagnostic equipment can need specific accounting treatment. If a purchase is used privately too, keep a supported business share and retain the original invoice.
These are simplified bookkeeping illustrations before tax and any further adjustments. Read the mobile mechanic expenses guide for conditions and exclusions, then see how to work out profit.
Keep entries up to date so your quarterly reports and end of year Self Assessment report start with figures you can check. TaxSnapper exports your recorded figures; tax returns and MTD updates are submitted separately.
