Mileage Tracking For Freelancers

Mileage Tracking for Freelancers with TimeTrack Pro

Freelancers and self-employed can deduct business mileage — but HMRC wants accurate records. TimeTrack Pro gives you private, offline proof from your phone's timeline.

1. Why It Works for Mileage Claims

  • Exact timestamps + locations from Android export
  • Copy-time feature for quick logging
  • Shows driving activity (if recorded)
  • No third-party app or cloud needed

2. Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Export monthly timeline (Settings → Location → Export JSON)
  2. Import to TimeTrack Pro
  3. For each work trip: tap departure/arrival times → copy
  4. Paste into spreadsheet: Date | Start | End | Miles (estimate)
  5. Screenshot timeline for backup proof

3. Tips for Strong Records

  • Note purpose (e.g. "Client meeting London") next to copied times
  • Export JSON — includes velocity/activity for driving proof
  • Keep exports 6+ years (HMRC requirement)
  • Use battery-saving mode → still good data, lower drain

HMRC accepts phone records if reliable and contemporaneous. TimeTrack Pro makes it easy — all local, no subscription trackers. Check current rates with accountant.
