Is Quickfile listed as one of HMRC’s commercial software providers? Trying to understand as HMRC corporation tax and filing accounts service will close from 1 April 2026, if I need to have a different software now? Are there existing integrations (such as in VAT) on the free version of Quickfile?
Hello @AnneL1m
Thank you for getting in touch.
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.
If you have any further questions or need help connecting with an accountant, feel free to reach out.
