Convert PDF to iXBRL for HMRC


Turn your PDF financial statements into fully HMRC-compliant iXBRL files without investing in specialist software. FinTags helps UK companies, accountants, tax advisers and audit firms convert PDF accounts into filing-ready Inline XBRL (iXBRL) for CT600 submissions. Simply send your PDF - we'll handle the tagging, validation and quality checks.
Why Convert PDF to iXBRL?

HMRC needs more than a PDF

HMRC requires statutory accounts submitted with a Corporation Tax Return (CT600) to be in Inline XBRL (iXBRL) format.

A PDF is ideal for viewing and printing, but HMRC systems cannot analyse it electronically. iXBRL embeds machine-readable tags into every relevant financial disclosure while preserving the appearance of your accounts. If your accounts exist only as a PDF, they must first be converted into iXBRL before filing.
