How the thresholds work

Your year is set by your total gross income, and the figure that counts is the combined turnover and rent before any expenses come off.

  • Over £50,000?
    You are in the first wave, from April 2026. That is less than a year to get ready, so it pays to start early.
  • Between £30,000 and £50,000?
    You join from April 2027. You can switch over sooner to avoid a rushed transition.
  • Between £20,000 and £30,000?
    You join from April 2028, the final confirmed phase.
  • Under £20,000?
    Nothing changes for you yet. The rules for incomes below this level are still being decided.

Good to know

A few common questions, answered plainly before you decide your next step.

  • Does this replace my yearly tax return?
    No. You will share a few short updates through the year, then wrap up the year much as you do now.
  • What if I have both a business and a rental?
    The thresholds look at your combined gross income, so add both together when you check.
  • Can .EWA handle all of this for me?
    That is the whole idea. Everything stays tidy in the background, and each update is ready when it is due.

.EWA is not a substitute for professional tax advice. If you are unsure where you stand, it is always worth checking with a qualified accountant.
