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

Full tax year
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
Property and self-employment each get their own update, as HMRC requires, in one place. Joint owners record just their own share.
Agent access
Send your records to your accountant in one tap. They see the same figures, checks and receipts you do.
Your rent counts towards MTD before any costs, and once MTD applies to you, it’s reported every quarter.
Trades, drivers, freelancers and online sellers, with each business reported separately.
Clients keep tidy records in .EWA. You run the quarter-close for all of them from one desk.
