Update on Limited Company Accounts Filing from April 1st, 2027

As you may be aware, from April 1st, 2027, Companies House will no longer offer paper or web-based filing services for submitting annual accounts. Additionally, HMRC’s Joint Filing Service for Corporation Tax will be decommissioned on March 31st, 2026.

While QuickFile has not historically offered built-in support for Corporation Tax or statutory account filings, we understand that many users have relied on these government-provided services to meet their year-end obligations. We’d like to take this opportunity to share our future plans and explain how QuickFile can support you during this transition.

How QuickFile Can Help

QuickFile remains committed to delivering a comprehensive, end-to-end accounts and Corporation Tax filing service aligned with the Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative. However, the planned decommissioning of current HMRC and Companies House services is scheduled before the new MTD systems will be fully operational.

In the meantime, here are a couple of options available to you:

1. Managed Accounts and Tax Filing Service

QuickFile offers a competitively priced company accounts and tax filing service, starting from £100 + VAT. This one-off service is delivered through our network of qualified accountants.

2. Third-Party Software for Self-Filers

If you prefer to file your own accounts and tax returns, HMRC provides a list of approved third-party software providers, many of which support both Corporation Tax and Companies House filings.

When Will QuickFile Launch MTD-Compatible Filing?

At this stage, we do not have a confirmed release date for our MTD-compatible Corporation Tax and Accounts filing module. Progress will depend on the rollout timeline defined by HMRC. That said, we want to assure you that this remains a top priority and a key part of our long-term development strategy.

Preparing company accounts and Corporation Tax filings involves navigating a complex and evolving set of regulations. By focusing our efforts on MTD, we aim to provide a modern, intuitive, and future-proof solution that leverages the latest technology.

Developing a standalone product for the current framework would be resource-intensive and short-lived, given its impending replacement.

I kindly request you to give us a detailed roadmap outlining the key milestones, deliverables, and expected timelines for the completion of the integration of Quickfile software with the HMRC and Companies House for filing and submission of Accounts and Confirmation statements.

Until HMRC releases deadlines for MTD Accounts and Corporation Tax we an not release an accurate timeline.

I need to find a new accountant - the one I’ve used for the last few years has been completely unresponsive to basic requests - but I don’t seem to be able to find the price comparison service in my account. Neither the ‘need help with you accounting’ or ‘click here to get started’ links are on my dashboard. I can’t find the service through any menus either. Any idea why?

Hello @AsherJac

The options for the comparison service are only available while there is no accountant linked to your account.

You can check this in the Account Settings > Team Management screen

You will see a message " XXXX is also linked to your account as an agent through the Quick File Affinity system. [Remove user)"

Clicking “Remove user” will break the link and allow you to use the comparison service.

I would reccomend attempting to use the accountant contact detail listed in the Team Management screen prior to doing this.

Cheers. Will try that.
