Questions directors ask first
Can I still file my CT600 for free?
Not through HMRC. Its free Company Accounts and Tax Online service closed on 31 March 2026. A Company Tax Return now has to go through software HMRC recognises.
Who submits the filings?
You do, as a director, under the company’s own logins. Fileyear prepares and checks everything first.
Do I pay before I see the figures?
No. You see your accounts and your tax figure first. You pay when you submit, with a full refund if you change your mind before then.
Is my company a micro-entity?
Usually, if it meets two of these: turnover up to £1 million, balance sheet up to £500,000, and 10 or fewer employees. These limits apply to years starting on or after 6 April 2025. A company that is a charity can’t use micro-entity accounts: its accounts follow the Charities SORP, and its annual return goes to the Charity Commission.
What if my company is more complicated?
We check before you pay. Groups, R&D claims, audits and companies over the small company limits are turned away with a clear reason.
