The tax app for your side income.
Delivering, driving, freelancing or selling online? Owely tracks what you earn and spend, shows you how much to put aside for tax, and keeps you on the right side of HMRC. All for £1 a week.
HMRC can already see your side income.
The rules for side income have changed a lot in the last few years. Here's what's different, and why keeping simple records now saves a headache in January.
Apps report your earnings
Since 1 January 2024, platforms like delivery, ride-hailing and selling apps have to send details of what their sellers earn to HMRC.
The trading allowance
Earn more than £1,000 in a tax year from self-employment and you'll usually need to register for Self Assessment and file a tax return.
For filing late
Miss the 31 January Self Assessment deadline and there's a £100 penalty, even if you don't owe any tax. It grows the longer you leave it.
Making Tax Digital starts for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000: digital records and quarterly updates.
The threshold drops to £30,000, bringing in many more self-employed people.
The threshold drops again to £20,000. Owely is being built to grow with you as the rules reach you.

Two minutes a week. That's the deal.

What £1 a week saves you from.
Good questions.

Do I have to pay tax on my side income?
Often, yes. If you earn more than £1,000 in a tax year from self-employment, such as delivery, driving, freelancing or selling, you'll usually need to register for Self Assessment and tell HMRC. Whether you actually owe tax depends on your total income and expenses. HMRC has a free tool on GOV.UK to check.
Do I need Making Tax Digital?
It depends on your qualifying income from self-employment and property. From April 2026 it applies above £50,000, from April 2027 above £30,000, and from April 2028 above £20,000. If you're below those levels you still file a normal Self Assessment return, and Owely helps with that too.
When does Owely launch?
We're aiming for December 2026 on Android and iOS. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment it's ready.
How much does it cost?
£1 a week. One plan with everything included. We'll confirm the final billing details before launch.
Is Owely an accountant?
No. Owely is software that helps you keep records and stay organised. It doesn't give personalised tax advice. If your situation is complicated, it's worth speaking to an accountant.
Is my data safe?
We take this seriously. Owely is being built on servers in London, with your data encrypted. Right now we only hold the email address you give us for the waitlist. See our privacy notice.
Who's behind Owely?
Owely is made by Annambox Technologies Ltd, a small software company in Bristol, registered in England and Wales (company number 17457530).
