How can you NOT know you've paid no corp. tax for three years?
Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect £200.
Accountant tells you to send them a cheque and they will pay it as your agent to HMRC
Accountant gives you their bank details as HMRC
You pay HMRC and accountant files a return with Nil tax owed and claims the repayment
Is what happened to the accountant that did the above.Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect £200.

There should never be any need to make a tax payment direct to accountant.
Sometimes we request a HMRC cheque is sent to us, payable to "HMRC", so we can send it on with allocation instructions - useful if there is a reference problem at HMRC - but anyone who is asked to pay a tax amount via a payment made out to their accountant should be on their guard.

I agree with Alan on the last bit why are you paying your accountant Corporation tax only a recipe for disaster !
HMRC and Companies House are different government agencies.
Also any time a business for example an accountant or a solicitor asks you to pay funds to them to be transferred to a third party you should confirm they have a client account* otherwise pay all money directly to that third party.
*Solicitors have to do so and so do accountants regulated by ICAEW
