> A.X.E.L (axel.trade) is a Manchester-based company. Its lead product, A.X.E.L Filing, lets small UK limited companies file their own company accounts and CT600 Corporation Tax return for £49, and anyone file their own Self Assessment for £35, with company and personal tax worked out live and together. It also runs a job management platform for tradesmen and builds hand-coded websites.

## Why A.X.E.L Filing
- A working draft, not a form filled in once: every answer works the tax out again to the penny, and nothing is filed or paid for until the person says so
- Company and personal tax geared together: the CT600's salary and dividends fill in the director's own Self Assessment, and the Tax cockpit shows corporation tax, income tax and National Insurance side by side, including what the next £1,000 of profit costs as a dividend, salary or pension contribution
- Bring your own AI: Claude or ChatGPT connect over MCP and work on the real drafts with the same engine that files them. They show figures; the person decides and presses Submit
- Self Assessment is free on GOV.UK and typically £150 to £400 + VAT with an accountant; A.X.E.L charges £35 (£25 alongside a CT600). The free CT600 route (CATO) closed on 31 March 2026

## Products

### A.X.E.L Filing: company accounts and CT600 for £49
- For directors of small UK private limited companies who want to file their own year end
- Prepares micro-entity accounts (FRS 105) and the CT600 Corporation Tax return, with the iXBRL tax computation, from one set of plain questions
- Files accounts to Companies House and the CT600 to HMRC, using the director's own Government Gateway login
- £49 for accounts and CT600 together, or either one alone. £20 for a dormant company. One-off, no subscription
- The free HMRC and Companies House joint filing service (CATO) closed on 31 March 2026, so the CT600 now needs commercial software or an accountant. Accounts can still go to Companies House directly until software becomes compulsory there on 1 April 2028
- Free two-minute eligibility check first. Built for a single UK trade or a dormant company; not for groups, R&D claims, a company with rental income or chargeable gains, or companies above the micro-entity limits
- Works with Claude and ChatGPT over MCP: the AI helps prepare the figures, the director reviews and presses Submit
- A filing tool, not an accountancy service

- Not covered: capital gains, foreign income, partnerships, trust income and life policy gains, non-UK residents, accounts not ending around 5 April, and transition profit
- Free to prepare, with the tax worked out before you pay. £35 a return, £25 for a director who files their company's CT600 with A.X.E.L
