Bolt

Bolt driver bookkeeping, rides and deliveries kept apart.

On Bolt the same driver can do food deliveries and passenger rides. For tax they are different things. GigBooks keeps the streams separate and the books as one.

Where Bolt driver bookkeeping usually goes wrong

  • Rides and deliveries in one pile

    Passenger transport and food delivery are different services, and once VAT-registered they carry different VAT rates. Booked together, the split has to be guessed afterwards.

  • Payout recorded from the app's number

    Bolt's weekly payout includes bonuses, corrections and service fees. The books must reconcile to the bank statement, not to the app screen.

  • Vehicle costs never split

    The car is usually also private. Without a driving log the work share cannot be justified, and the deduction is lost or overstated.

  • YEL and advance tax fall behind

    Income grows week by week, but YEL income and advance tax were set in January. Without a forecast the bill arrives all at once.

Bolt in GigBooks

Two income streams, one ledger, no guessing.

Add Bolt Food and Bolt rides as separate streams. Shifts and payouts book into the right one, the VAT threshold is counted across both, and the hourly rate shows for each.

Bolt guides

Do I need a sole-trader business as a Bolt driver?

For Bolt Food deliveries a sole trader is the usual form. For passenger rides you additionally need a taxi transport licence and a taxi driver's licence. In both cases the bookkeeping is your own responsibility.

Do rides and deliveries carry different VAT?

Under €20,000 of yearly turnover you are not VAT liable for either. After registration passenger transport carries the reduced rate and deliveries the general rate. GigBooks sets the rate by stream.

How are vehicle costs split?

By the work share of kilometres driven. The shift log in GigBooks serves as the driving log, and costs are split on it.

Can I use GigBooks if I also drive for Wolt or Uber?

Yes. Every platform is its own stream in the same ledger.
