1.Do you record delivery platform income at the gross order value (before commissions and fees)?
2.How often do you reconcile delivery platform payouts?
3.Do you correctly account for VAT on platform commissions?
4.Do you track and verify delivery platform refunds?
5.Have you compared your annual platform summaries against your accounting records?
How this tool works
Since January 2024, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat report UK seller data directly to HMRC under the Digital Platform Reporting Rules. HMRC receives quarterly totals of what each platform paid you, your transaction count, fees and commissions withheld, and your payout bank details — not order-level line data, but enough to cross-check against what you declared on your return. This checker assesses the five most common compliance gaps that cause HMRC queries for delivery-focused restaurants: gross vs net revenue recording, reconciliation frequency, VAT on commission treatment, refund tracking, and platform-to-books matching.
