What this sheet is for
Know at the end of a shift exactly what you took, how it was paid and what is owed to the operator, instead of working it back from a pocket of receipts.
Who it is for
Taxi and private hire drivers, whether owner-drivers or on a rented plate, and small operators who want a consistent sheet back from every driver.
How to use it
- Fill in the driver, vehicle, shift times and both meter and odometer readings at the start.
- Add one row per job as it happens — time, from, to, fare, extras and how it was paid.
- At the end of the shift, read the meter and odometer again and total the cash, card and account columns.
- Note fuel and other outgoings, then what you handed in or banked and what is due to the operator.

Printed under the title: One shift in a taxi or private hire car — every job with its fare and how it was paid, the meter and odometer at both ends, and the cash, card and account totals reconciled at the finish. Fare rates, tariff bands and any rent or commission you pay are set by the licensing authority where you drive and by your operator; write what the meter or the booking showed.

Questions
Why are there no fare rates or tariffs on the sheet?
Because they are set by the licensing authority where you drive and by your operator, and they differ from one town to the next. You write what the meter or the booking showed; the sheet does not tell you what to charge.
What goes in the Extras column?
Anything on top of the metered or booked fare — a tip, a waiting charge, a soiling charge, a toll passed on. Keeping it separate means your fare total matches the meter.
