Most trackable / reliable mail delivery service in UK for a company cheque for HMRC

[eliquant]

What is the most trackable / reliable mail delivery service in UK for a company cheque made out to HMRC (which initially has to go the accountant and then forwaded) ?

Its a cheque for a Corporation Tax bill payment and its £20k+, I just don't want say, the Royal Mail say losing it and then some individual opening it, copying my signiture on the back and somehow altering the 'Paying To' section of the cheque and then absolving themselves of all responsibilities and pointing me to the 'insured up to £50 section of their policies'.

I've thinking of UPS or Parcel Force or someone, its from London to London and I cannot physically deliver it myself to my accountant, every time I go to Royal Mail they are always vague about how their different services really function i.e. 'Special Delivery', 'Recorded Delivery' and 'Signed For Delivery'.

I just don't want it lost in the post or at some stage in the mailing process.

Thanks for any tips.

Pay by a direct bank transfer (use CHAPS to be sure).

Why not just pay via cheque over the bank counter. Job done. Or via BACS as already stated.

I pay mine directly at the local post office with a cheque (the back of the form has the details).

WHS. They should make bank account details very clear on forms, etc.
I think you can also register for company tax online now, like with VAT, just in case it's of interest.

The OP is just pointing out how much he earned. It's basically "willy waving". Nothing to see here. Move along.
