Forgive me if I’m missing something here, but is there an elephant in the room for those that use Quickfile for a UK company?
For those of us who self filing, the usual end of year reports have been sufficient to have the required information to then fill out the relevant boxes in the HMRC and CH online submission forms.
But these are coming to an end from April 1st next year. Therefore for my company’s reporting year starting January 1st 2026, I will need to use commercial software to file to HMRC and CH.
But (unless I am missing something) there appears to be no plans for Quickfile to offer the relevant facility. Quickfile is not listed on the gov .uk website as a recognised software supplier. Nor can I see anywhere in the dashboard, reports or support where this might be an upgrade option.
It would be helpful if quickfile can just say if they are going to support this going forward or not so that I can look elsewhere ahead of time if needed.
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”):
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.
