Your Tax, Sorted. Forever.

Start your journey with .EWA

Making Tax Digital for sole traders and landlords. In development; founding members get two months free.

Four quarterly updates and a yearly tax return. .EWA keeps the records each one needs as you go.

Next quarterly update

–days

until the Quarter 2 update is due on 7 November 2026.

Updates are year-to-date, so this one covers 6 April to 5 October. For 2026/27, HMRC isn’t giving penalty points for late quarterly updates. From April 2027, each missed deadline earns a point, and four points means a £200 penalty.

Features

MTD software for people who aren’t bookkeepers.

Most MTD software is built for bookkeepers. .EWA works from the records you already keep and asks only for what HMRC needs.

Spreadsheet bridge

Keep the sheet you already use.

Point .EWA at your .xlsx or .csv and it will read your columns, sort every line and build the update from it. In testing now, arriving this winter.

Full tax year

Quarterly updates and the tax return.

Some tools stop at the quarterly updates. .EWA also covers the yearly tax return (the final declaration).

4+1

updates, then the tax return

Self-employment and property

Rent and takings, kept apart.

Property and self-employment each get their own update, as HMRC requires, in one place. Joint owners record just their own share.

Agent access

Do it yourself, or hand it over.

Send your records to your accountant in one tap. They see the same figures, checks and receipts you do.

For landlords, sole traders and their accountants.

Landlords

Your rent counts towards MTD before any costs, and once MTD applies to you, it’s reported every quarter.

  • A view for each property, or all together
  • Costs sorted the way the property pages expect
  • Joint owners record their own share
What changes for landlords

Sole traders

Trades, drivers, freelancers and online sellers, with each business reported separately.

  • Bank feed or a statement upload
  • Know what you owe each week, not each January
  • See what’s safe to spend
See how it works

Accountants

Clients keep tidy records in .EWA. You run the quarter-close for all of them from one desk.

  • Deadlines pulled straight from HMRC
  • Shield’s checks across every client
  • A receipt per client, per quarter
