Payment upfront (before we start work). Process: 1) Free consultation (understand your needs), 2) Fixed price quote sent, 3) You pay invoice (card/bank transfer), 4) Upload accounts to portal, 5) We start work. Why upfront? Ensures commitment (we've had clients disappear mid-project). Refund policy: 100% refund if we haven't started work yet (accounts not uploaded to our system). 50% refund if work-in-progress but not submitted to HMRC/CH. No refund after filing completed (you received the service). Unhappy mid-project? Pause work, we'll address concerns before proceeding.
We use Companies Act 2006 size criteria: Small company = meet 2 of 3 thresholds (turnover ≤£10.2m, assets ≤£5.1m, employees ≤50). Example 1: Turnover £11m, assets £4m, employees 30 → exceeds 1 threshold (turnover), meets 2 (assets, employees) → Small company (£750 pricing). Example 2: Turnover £11m, assets £6m, employees 30 → exceeds 2 thresholds (turnover, assets) → Medium company (£1,200 pricing). Borderline cases: We review your accounts during consultation and confirm pricing tier before you commit. If unsure, send us PDF accounts for free size assessment (email: hello@digitalreporting.co.uk).
Yes, CH-only filing available at 60% of full price. Example: Small company full service £750 → CH-only = £450. Includes: iXBRL tagging (FRC taxonomy), expert review, CH WebFiling submission, submission receipt, 6-month support for CH bounce-backs only (HMRC support excluded since not filed by us). Why 60% not 50%? Tagging + validation work is same effort (whether filing to one or both authorities). Savings come from skipping HMRC CT600 submission handling. Turnaround: 2-4 days (faster since no HMRC coordination). Note: If HMRC later queries why iXBRL not filed via gateway, we can't assist (you filed manually).
Monthly payment plans available for Medium/Large companies only (£1,200+ pricing). Small/Micro: upfront payment required. Payment plan terms: 25% deposit upfront + 11 monthly installments (total 12 months). Example: Medium company £1,200 → £300 deposit + £81.82/month × 11 months. No interest charged (0% APR). Work starts after deposit paid. Monthly payments continue regardless of filing completion (you're paying for service + 12-month support, not just filing). Miss 2+ payments: Account suspended, no further support until arrears cleared. Credit check not required. Direct Debit mandate signed (automatic monthly collection). Why offer this? Helps cash flow for growing businesses with tight budgets.
