Who we are

FileMyRent is a UK business. Our limited company is completing registration, and this page will name it, with its company number and registered office, as soon as registration completes. Contact: hello@filemyrent.co.uk.

The service is software: it prepares a Company Tax Return (FRS 105 micro-entity accounts, a corporation tax computation and CT600 form values) from figures you type in and, where you instruct it and where live filing is available in the service, transmits the return to HMRC and delivers the accounts to Companies House. Until live submission opens, the service prepares your filing pack for download and no fee is charged.

The basis of the bargain

The service is priced as software, not as professional advice, and these terms, including the limits on our liability, are the essential basis on which we can offer it at this price. If you need advice, judgement on your figures, or someone to take responsibility for your tax position, you need an accountant, and we say so throughout the service.

The service does not provide tax, accounting or legal advice, and no output of the service is advice. It performs deterministic calculations on figures you supply and refuses cases outside its published scope. We are not accountants, tax agents or auditors; we are not appointed as your agent with HMRC; at Companies House we act as a presenter (a delivery channel), and responsibility for the content of the accounts stays with the company and its officers.

Business use and your authority to file

You confirm that you use the service in the course of business, as a director of, or a person authorised to act for, the UK limited company named in the filing, and that you are entitled to authorise each transmission to HMRC and each delivery to Companies House (including use of the company's Companies House authentication code). If despite this you deal with us as a consumer, nothing in these terms takes away rights that consumer law does not allow to be taken away, and the cancellation paragraph below applies to you.

Fees, refunds and the guarantee

The fee is £19 per trading company per year and £10 per dormant company per year, payable before submission. No VAT is added to either price. Refer two companies that file and pay, and your next year is free. No card is stored and nothing auto-renews; renewal is by a fresh payment link each year. One fee covers the year's filing: the CT600 and computation to HMRC and the accounts to Companies House.

The guarantee: if a paid filing cannot be successfully transmitted through the service, you receive a full refund of that fee. "Successfully transmitted" has an objective meaning: HMRC's systems have issued an acceptance response with a correlation ID, and for the Companies House leg, their system has issued a submission number and an accepted status. If a filing is rejected, we tell you what the service said in plain English and filing again through the service costs nothing. Fees are non-refundable once the return has been successfully transmitted to HMRC, except where required by law.

Consumer cancellation: if you deal with us as a consumer, you have a 14-day cancellation right; by asking us to transmit a return within that period you request immediate performance and acknowledge that the cancellation right is lost once the return is successfully transmitted.

Submission, and the registrar's copy

Transmission uses HMRC's and Companies House's own submission protocols, and we pass each service's acceptance or rejection response to you as we receive it. Acceptance by either system is not confirmation that the filing is correct: HMRC may enquire into any return. If a submission is rejected it remains your responsibility to file by your deadlines, and we recommend filing well before them.

Unless you choose otherwise, the copy of the accounts delivered to Companies House is the balance sheet with the required statements and without the profit and loss account, as section 444 of the Companies Act 2006 permits for micro-entities. By instructing delivery you confirm the directors have chosen this.

Your responsibilities, and keeping records

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of every figure you enter; for checking the generated documents, including the figures the service calculates from your inputs, before authorising any transmission; for the truth of the declaration submitted with the return (made by you, the named signatory, not by us); for keeping the company's authentication code secure; and for meeting your company's filing and payment deadlines.

The service is designed not to retain your financial data. We keep one thing: a minimal submission receipt (company number, period, timestamp and the HMRC correlation ID or Companies House submission number, with no financial figures) so a submission can be proved later. Because we keep nothing else, download and keep your filing pack: your company has its own legal duty to keep accounting records (six years is the safe rule), we cannot recover past filings for you, and filing an amended return means entering the figures again.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to that: our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the service in any 12-month period is capped at the greater of £100 and the fees you paid us in that period. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit; for HMRC or Companies House penalties, interest or additional tax; for the consequences of information appearing on the public register that you authorised us to deliver; for unavailability of HMRC's or Companies House's systems; or for your failure to file by a deadline. You will compensate us for losses we suffer as a direct result of figures you supplied being untrue, of filings you were not authorised to make, or of your breach of these terms.

The service, ownership and fair use

The service is provided "as available". We may change, suspend or withdraw it; if you have paid for a filing year and we withdraw the service before your filing is transmitted, we refund that year's fee. Material changes to these terms will be posted here, with at least 30 days' notice where they affect price or your rights; the version in force when you submit a return governs that return.

The service refuses cases outside its published scope and explains why; a refusal is not advice, and nothing you entered is retained after one. The service and its generated document formats are ours or our licensors'. Your data is yours, and so are the documents the service generates from it. You may not scrape, reverse engineer, resell, use the service to file for companies as a paid agent, or use it for any unlawful purpose. At this price the service is self-serve: we do not enter into bespoke contracts, amended terms or NDAs.

General

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you deal with us as a consumer you keep any mandatory rights and forum protections of your home country within the UK. If any provision is unenforceable the rest stand. Complaints: email hello@filemyrent.co.uk with "complaint" in the subject and a human replies within five working days.
