Uber Driving as a Second Job

Hi All,

I am looking for some information on working Uber as a second job.

This would bring me into the higher rate of tax, which I understand would severely reduce the amount of money that I am likely to make.

However, if I buy a car (preferably electric) then can I reduce my tax burden on the cost of the car seeing as though I would be using it for employment? Or is the only tax relief available on the cost of charging/fuelling the car?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
