DormantFile vs WeFile
WeFile files both returns, but charges for each one: £15/filing. A dormant company files every year — and twice in a year when HMRC asks for a Company Tax Return (CT600) — so with WeFile the charge comes round with every filing. DormantFile's yearly price covers every filing and every attempt in the year, and carries your details forward to the next one. Both of us send deadline reminders; our subscription also covers a daily check of your public record for changes you didn't make, and can have next year's accounts prepared for you to confirm with one click.

Choose DormantFile if…
- Your company will still exist next year: the subscription carries your details forward and can have next year's accounts prepared for you to confirm with one click.
- You want someone watching the register between filings — daily checks, hijack alerts and strike-off warnings are included, not extras.
- You're behind by several years: there's no per-period charge, so a backlog costs the same as a single year.
Questions, answered
- Why pay yearly rather than per filing?
- WeFile publishes £15/filing, and a dormant company files at least once every year — twice when HMRC asks for a Company Tax Return (CT600). DormantFile's yearly price covers every filing and every attempt in the year, so a rejected return costs nothing more to put right. It also includes a daily check of your public record and, if you want it, next year's accounts prepared for you to confirm.
- Does DormantFile file the CT600 as well as the accounts?
- Yes. DormantFile files the Companies House accounts and HMRC's nil CT600 direct through the official filing systems, and both sit inside one yearly price. With WeFile, each filing is charged separately.
