QuickFile - Accountant for Payroll, CT600 and self assessment

Marketplace
1

Hi all,

My accountant, who handled QuickFile for payroll, the CT600, and my self-assessment, has retired. I’m wondering how I can find someone similar here, and how others are managing this. He used to run the monthly payroll and update it in QuickFile, prepare the CT600 based on the QuickFile data, and complete my self-assessment using my inputs.

Many thanks,

Sol

Hello @solarpower03

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.

@QFSteve, Thank you - I was not aware of this. I will check the option #1. I wanted to ask if they simply file based on the net profit output from QuickFile or do they do adjustment for taxes. For example, some items like dividends received might be not taxable.

Hello @solarpower03

Unfortunately this is something I can not answer.

The support team are not registered accountants (which is partly why there is not a submission option).

You may need to consult an registered accountant.
