File your company accounts and tax return

Fileyear prepares your micro-entity or small company accounts and Company Tax Return (CT600) from your bank statement, checks both against Companies House and HMRC rules, and you submit both in one sitting under your own logins. HMRC’s free filing service closed on 31 March 2026, so a CT600 now needs software like this.

Questions directors ask

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.

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.

Who submits the filings?

You do, as a director, under the company’s own logins. Fileyear prepares and checks everything first.

What if my company is bigger than a micro-entity?

Fileyear prepares small company accounts (FRS 102 section 1A) too, for a company that meets two of these: turnover up to £15 million, balance sheet up to £7.5 million and 50 or fewer employees. It works the size out from your figures, files a filleted or full copy at Companies House as you choose, and the full accounts with your CT600. The price is £118.80.

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.

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.

What about a property company, a holding company or a CIC?

It is the same filing. Fileyear reads your company’s type from Companies House and prices it for you: £118.80 for a property or holding company (£60 more for over 3 properties) and £46.80 for a CIC. A property company gets questions about its properties, a holding company about dividends received, and a CIC its CIC34 community interest report: Fileyear prepares the accounts and CIC34 as the package Companies House takes, you upload it there and pay its CIC34 fee, and the Company Tax Return goes to HMRC as usual.

Is there a membership?

No. You pay for each filing when you file it, and nothing else. Autopilot is free: it prepares each filing before it is due, and you pay that filing’s price when you approve it.
