Attach Longer-Period Accounts to a Shorter CT600

New Feature

A CT600 whose accounting period sits inside a longer statutory accounts period (for example, when a company stops trading part-way through its financial year) can now attach those full-period accounts, as HMRC allows.
On the Credentials step of the CT600 filing, choose another filing for the same company that holds the statutory accounts covering the longer period. Only filings whose accounts period fully contains the CT period, and is no longer than 18 months, can be selected.
The full-period iXBRL accounts are attached to the CT600 sent to HMRC. Box 85 (accounts and computations for a different period) is ticked; Box 50 is not, as this is a single return.
The CT600 return period and tax computation stay limited to the shorter Corporation Tax accounting period, so enter only that period's profits and tax adjustments.
The Companies House leg is switched off on the linked CT600 filing so the accounts are never filed twice — they are filed with Companies House from the accounts filing.
Tested end-to-end with both the HMRC and Companies House test gateways.

Improvement

HMRC requires multi-factor authentication for Making Tax Digital VAT, so VAT now needs two-factor authentication. If you haven't set it up yet, you'll be prompted to add an authenticator app from the Security page.
Once two-factor is set up, you'll be asked for a 6-digit code from your authenticator app the first time you open VAT in each sign-in.
A new "Verify it's you" screen with individual digit boxes, paste and autofill support, and automatic submission once all six digits are entered.
Every VAT request to HMRC now includes the multi-factor fraud prevention header HMRC requires (Gov-Client-Multi-Factor), and requests are only sent after you've verified.

New Feature

You can now tick CT600 box 55 to tell HMRC your return contains estimated (provisional) figures.
The option is on the Company Info step of the filing wizard, shown on the review step and filing detail, drawn on the CT600 PDF, and sent to HMRC in the CT600 submission.
API users can set `profitLossData.provisionalFigures: true` via the v1 API.

New Feature

You can now permanently delete your WeFile account yourself from the new Delete Account section on the Security page.
For your protection, a 6-digit verification code is sent to your registered email address. The code is valid for 15 minutes and must be entered before deletion can continue.
Before anything is deleted, you'll see a final confirmation explaining that all associated data — including filings, companies, invoices, company formations, Self Assessment returns, VAT returns, support tickets, team access, subscriptions and memberships — will be permanently removed.
Once confirmed, your account and all associated data are deleted, you're signed out automatically, and a confirmation email is sent to you.

New Feature

Optional Share Premium and Capital Redemption Reserve fields are now recorded separately from share capital and retained earnings. They default to zero for existing filings, with no backfill required.
Enter distinct values for the current and previous-year balance sheets. Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent imports recognise these reserves separately, and both fields are available through the Developer API as `sharePremium` and `capitalRedemptionReserve`.
Both reserves are included in the capital and reserves total. Full FRS 102 accounts show them separately in the accounts PDF and as dimensional iXBRL facts, including comparatives; micro FRS 105 accounts retain a collapsed capital-and-reserves line.
