Feature requested HMRC are discontinuing their CT600 (Corporation Tax Return) filing for small businesses. There could be an opportunity to provide a service for small company Quickfile users. I would expect this to be a chargeable feature.
This feature was requested a couple of years ago, but there has been no further information as to whether the feature is in the pipeline.

For filing CT600 with HMRC
How I would expect it to work Tax return details entered into template from user and software uploads to HMRC in required format.
As you’re likely aware, HMRC and Companies House have announced plans to close their joint corporate tax filing service by April 2027. This change will require businesses to use commercial software to file Company Accounts and Corporation Tax returns separately.
At this time, QuickFile has no current plans to develop a Corporation Tax and Accounts filing service for limited companies.
However, you do have two options to consider going forward:
File through one of our panel accountants – This is a straightforward and fully managed service, with fees starting at approximately £100 + VAT per company.
Use a third-party self-filing service – HMRC maintains a list of approved commercial software providers, which you can access at the following link (please refer to packages that are “suitable for self-filers”):

We remain fully committed to adopt the planned rollout of HMRC’s Making Tax Digital program for Limited Companies. Regrettably, due to the depth and complexity of the Corporate Tax and Accounts Filing regime, we are unable to develop software for the existing gateway.
