Can I change something after it has been filed?

Once Companies House or HMRC has accepted a filing, it is final. We cannot withdraw it.

A correction means a new filing. Yearfile cannot send corrections yet. We do not file revised accounts or amended Company Tax Returns.

What the offices say (from HMRC's guidance):

• To change or re-file a Company Tax Return, you can use commercial software, send a paper return to the Corporation Tax office, or use an agent.
• To change or correct accounts at Companies House, you need to use software or send paper accounts by post.

For a correction you may need an accountant. Ask before you send anything.

If you filed with us and spotted a mistake before you approved, you can still change it. Nothing is sent until you approve it.
