E-filing your iXBRL Accounts to Companies House is simple because our system will take care of all your E-filing protocol and delivery needs. There are 2 documents you need to prepare for E-filing to Companies House. These documents are:
- The Company Accounts in an iXBRL format
- The Form Header in a CSV format
(The Form Header contains the following information obtainable from Companies House: Company Authentication Code, Company Number, Company Name)
We’ll provide the relevant ready-to-use template for you to enter your presenter credentials. If you don’t yet have them, you can apply with HMRC
Before proceeding to e-file to Companies House, your Accounts must first be converted into an iXBRL file. We provide an iXBRL tagging service to help you create compliant iXBRL accounts files directly from your financial statements and tax computations, ensuring they meet both Companies House and HMRC specifications.
Your Form Header CSV file will be automatically business-rule validated and converted into the Companies House required XML format. Both your iXBRL and Form Header files will then be validated against Companies House schema and business rules. If any validation errors are found, the system will automatically alert you and highlight the specific areas that need correction.
Once both files pass validation, you’ll receive a green light indicating they are ready for submission. Before proceeding, you can review the final set of Accounts documents for a last confirmation. Upon approval, you can electronically file both documents simultaneously using our secure XML submission protocol with Companies House.
