Filing a direct amendment
What is a direct amendment
A direct amendment is filing a corrected return when the original was filed elsewhere or through a different service.
When to use direct amendments
Use this option when the original return was filed via another software, errors were discovered after filing, or there is a change in accounting treatment.
How to create a direct amendment in WeFile
Go to the company page, click the amendment option, and select the accounting period. WeFile will automatically create a new filing pre-marked as an amendment.
What you need
You will need your HMRC Gateway credentials for CT600 amendments, your Companies House auth code for accounts amendments, and details of what changed and why.
The amendment process
Fill in the corrected P&L and balance sheet, provide an amendment reason and a summary of changes for Companies House, enter the approval date of the revision, and submit as normal.
Important notes
HMRC allows amendments within 12 months of the statutory filing deadline. Companies House allows revised accounts to correct errors in the original submission.
