I Just Need My Taxes Filed

Sound like you?

You run a small limited company with simple affairs. No job management needed, no subscriptions wanted. You just need this year's Corporation Tax return and annual accounts filed properly, without paying an accountant hundreds of pounds to fill in forms.

Filing Day

It's a Sunday evening in the month your accounts are due. Instead of booking an accountant appointment three weeks out, you open ct600.axel.trade with your bank statements to hand. An hour later your CT600 and accounts are filed with HMRC and Companies House, and the confirmations are in your inbox.

A Day With A.X.E.L

See how A.X.E.L fits naturally into your routine — morning, midday, and evening.

Morning
You look up your company. A.X.E.L Filing pulls your details from Companies House automatically and asks a handful of plain-English eligibility questions first. If your company's affairs are too complex for the service, it tells you straight away and points you to an accountant, before you've paid a penny.
Midday
You enter your year's figures: income, expenses, any equipment you bought. Connected to Xero or QuickBooks? It can read the numbers for you. The engine computes your Corporation Tax, applies reliefs like the Annual Investment Allowance and marginal relief where they apply, and shows you every box of the return with the workings.
Evening
You read the declaration, check the figures, and submit with your own Government Gateway login. The CT600 with iXBRL accounts and computations goes to HMRC; your micro-entity accounts go to Companies House through their official filing gateway. Both confirmations land in your email, and your documents stay available to download whenever you need them.

Features That Matter To You

These features are designed specifically for businesses like yours.

CT600 + Accounts in One Pass

One set of figures produces your Corporation Tax return for HMRC and your annual accounts for Companies House. £49 for one filing, £79 for both.

Most filing services make you do HMRC and Companies House separately, re-keying the same numbers twice. Here the same figures flow into both filings, so they always agree with each other, and you only do the work once.

Honest Eligibility Check

Plain questions up front. If your company needs a supplementary page or professional judgement, the service refuses and tells you to see an accountant.

Software that files anything for anyone is how companies end up with wrong returns. The gate exists so that if A.X.E.L accepts your filing, you can trust it was the right tool for the job.

Every Figure Checked by Machine

Returns are validated against HMRC's own published rules and sealed with the IRmark integrity stamp before anything is transmitted.

The same checks HMRC runs on arrival are run before your return leaves. Companies House reviewed and approved the accounts output for filing through their gateway. You see exactly what will be filed before you confirm it.

No Subscription, No Lock-in

Pay per filing, once a year. Your documents remain downloadable. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel.

A company with simple affairs files once a year. A monthly subscription for that makes no sense, so there isn't one. Come back next year if the service earned it.

What Changes

Here's how your workflow gets easier when A.X.E.L becomes part of your routine.

How it works now

Every year you either pay an accountant a few hundred pounds to prepare a dormant-simple return, or you wrestle HMRC's own filing service and hope you understood the boxes. The deadline stress is real and the cost never gets smaller.

How it works with A.X.E.L

Filing season becomes an hour with your bank statements. The engine does the tax arithmetic, shows its workings, files both legs through the official channels, and costs less than a single hour of an accountant's time.

Real Example

A realistic scenario showing how A.X.E.L works in practice.

PriyaIT contractorManchester

Priya's limited company has one client, a laptop purchase, and some software subscriptions. Her accountant quoted £450 for year-end. She answers the eligibility questions, imports her figures, and watches the engine claim the Annual Investment Allowance on the laptop automatically. The computation shows her exactly how the tax was worked out, box by box. She files the CT600 to HMRC and her micro-entity accounts to Companies House in the same sitting for £79, and puts the £371 difference toward next year's kit.

Getting Started

A.X.E.L is designed to be easy to adopt — no big changes, no steep learning curves.

Go to ct600.axel.trade and look up your company by name or number. The eligibility questions take two minutes and cost nothing, so you'll know straight away whether the service fits your company. If it does, have your year's figures or your bookkeeping login ready and set aside an hour. If it doesn't, you'll be told honestly, before payment, not after.
