A range of Internet filing enabled software and forms are available from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and commercial software and service suppliers. These can be used to file Company Tax Returns including accounts and computations online in the required iXBRL format.
HMRC do not carry out any form of security testing of developer products or services and customers are encouraged to ask their suppliers for information about the security aspects of the products and services they provide. Information about the security of the HMRC services that these products and services interface with is detailed at Registration and Enrolment Frequently Asked Questions.
Commercial software applications and services fall into the following categories:
1. Software applications that produce and submit a CT600 with PDF Accounts/Computations attached or the ability to incorporate and submit iXBRL Accounts/Computations produced by other software products. In addition, all the applications listed under this category will allow you to include additional PDF documents, reports, statements etc.
2. Software applications or services that produce iXBRL Accounts and/or iXBRL Computations. These fall into the following sub categories:
The tables accessed from the links above give details of commercial software and service suppliers that have tested with HMRC and provided evidence that they have either developed software or manage a service (or both) that can produce one or more elements of a Company Tax Return. The tables identify iXBRL Accounts and iXBRL Computations separately because not all software products/services offer both.
While the tables indicate that some products or services only support a particular aspect of iXBRL production, it's possible that they provide a wider range of functionality that has not been tested with HMRC. In addition, other features have not been tested, including usability and security, and you must therefore ensure that the software you choose fully meets your filing and other requirements.
A number of software suppliers are still testing their products/services with HMRC. When they have tested successfully and provided the required evidence, they will be listed below. Please note, there are no strict requirements for Software Developers to apply for HMRC 'Recognition', so other products or services may be available that are not listed below.
HMRC provides a free product, 'Online Tax Return - CT'. This lets you file Company Tax Returns and supplementary pages A, E and J online with Accounts and Computations templates that ensures your return is submitted in the correct manner. HMRC have tested all the features of this service, and will provide support to users through the Online Services Helpdesk. This will be one of the available filing options once you have logged on to our Online Services.
