Tax is worked out on all your income together: the joinery and your share of Flat 2.

Where the money goes

Costs that lower your tax, in HMRC’s groups, this tax year.

Materials£2,310
Van and travel£1,420
Flat repairs£520
Letting agent£440
Phone and software£380
Insurance£290
Everything else£840

Mortgage interest on Flat 2 (£1,350, your share) isn’t a cost here. It gives you a 20% tax credit instead, already counted.

Example figures. Filing switches on once HMRC approves .EWA’s software. Your records are yours: download all of them, any time, from Settings.

A working demo with example figures. Click anything on the screen.

Transactions come in from your bank, each one is sorted by a written rule, and the quarterly update is built from the result.

What .EWA does, step by step.

Scroll through the app, screen by screen. The laptop at the top of the page is the one to click around in.

1 · Home

One status, one next step.

The first screen answers “am I OK?”: where the quarter stands, what to keep back for tax, and the two or three payments that need a one-tap answer.

2 · Money in and out

Every payment, sorted by a rule you can read.

Each line shows the rule that put it there. Anything the rules can’t place waits under “Needs you”, with the reason. Answer once and .EWA remembers.

3 · Your tax

A running estimate of what you owe.

Income Tax and Class 4 National Insurance, worked out line by line from your records, with the dates you actually pay.

4 · Shield

Eight checks before anything is sent.

HMRC access, the right start year, every income source, quarter dates and more. Small slips, like a personal coffee in your costs, are flagged with the reason.

5 · Send

Four short steps to send a quarter.

Check the figures as HMRC will see them, settle anything Shield found, choose whether your accountant looks first, then send.

6 · Sent to HMRC

Proof that HMRC has it.

.EWA checks with HMRC after five minutes and again after a day, and keeps a receipt of exactly what was received.

Spreadsheet bridge

Keep using your spreadsheet.

Plenty of landlords and traders already keep good records in Excel. .EWA’s spreadsheet bridge will read the sheet you have, match each row to HMRC’s categories and send the update from there. HMRC’s rules don’t allow retyping figures between systems, so the link stays digital.

The spreadsheet bridge is in testing and arrives this winter.
