File your company accounts and tax return

Feature requested
File your company accounts and tax return”

Typical use case
Because we are a micro-entity, we currently use the free government service
“File your company accounts and tax return”
(Company Tax Return and accounts submitted at the same time for the same accounting period) via
https://www.gov.uk/file-your-company-accounts-and-tax-return.

However, this service is scheduled to be withdrawn in March 2026.

How I would expect it to work
I would like to ask whether QuickFile provides (or plans to provide) a commercial software solution that allows micro-entities to:

  • prepare statutory accounts,

  • calculate Corporation Tax, and

  • submit Company Tax Returns and accounts to HMRC / Companies House.

Any clarification or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Hello @english_claire

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:

  1. File through one of our panel accountants – This is a straightforward and fully managed service, with fees starting at approximately £100 + VAT per company.

  1. 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”):

Corporation Tax Commercial Software Suppliers

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.

If you have any further questions or need help connecting with an accountant, feel free to reach out.

Hi, thanks for the reply on this. Unfortunately i’m still confused about Quickfile’s stance - As a limited company that has to submit microentity accounts every year, is this something i will be able to do electronically through quickfile after the Gov.uk tax service closes in 2 months time?

Hello @ianfriend

You can not submit company accounts directly through QuickFile.

We do offer a comparison service for our partner accountants.
