How Kev compares with DriversnoteA spreadsheet or another app
Any CSV file works if each row has a date and a distance (for journeys) or a date and an amount (for expenses). Kev matches the columns for you, and you can change any it gets wrong. There’s a template to fill in, too.
Questions
Does importing cost anything?
No. Importing is free on every plan, including the free plan.
Which journeys come across?
Business journeys from 6 April 2025 onwards, the tax years Kev has HMRC rates for. Kev works out each claim at the HMRC rate for its tax year, switching to 25p at the right point after 10,000 miles. Personal trips are left out.
What if I import the same file twice?
Kev skips anything already in your account, so you won’t get the same trip or expense twice. If an import goes wrong, you can undo the whole thing in one tap.
My file is an Excel spreadsheet. Will it work?
Open it and save or export it as CSV first, then import that file.
Should I keep my old records?
Yes. HMRC says to keep Self Assessment records for at least 5 years after the 31 January submission deadline of the tax year they’re for, so keep your downloads and receipts from your old app.
Your records, your phone, one place.
