Hi, I received the following email. (see end)
I have a couple of dormant LTD and CIC companies, which I wish to keep for now and still do the confirmation statements and account filing. HMRC have confirmed the changes will include dormant LTD and CICs. At the moment all dormant CIC have to be done by post.
I wish to continue doing the CS and Account filing, but looking for free accountancy software that will support the upload to HMRC.
Can you recommend any ?
Thanks, David.

Changes to accounts
The online accounts and Company Tax Return service is closing on 31 March 2026.
If you use this service to file your accounts with Companies House and Company Tax Return with HMRC, you’ll need to find alternative filing methods once it closes.
Over the next 2 to 3 years, we’ll be transitioning towards filing accounts by software only.
We’re preparing a detailed timetable and we aim to give companies 21 months’ notice ahead of the change. Most companies can make the change now as software is already available. We’ve published an updated version of our Find software for filing company accounts tool to help companies to choose a suitable software product.
