How it works
Throughout the year
Keep the registered office active, update Companies House when required, retain accounting records, and record changes in members or designated members.
Before the accounts deadline
Prepare annual accounts using the LLP's accounting reference date and file them at Companies House. Late filing can trigger penalties and other consequences.
Once each year
File the confirmation statement and confirm the registered office, members, designated members, people with significant control, and other public information are accurate.
After the accounting period
The LLP submits its Partnership Tax Return to HMRC. Each member then considers their own tax return and reporting based on their allocation and residence.
When facts change
A new member, changed address, change of designated member, new activity, or change in residence can create extra filings or advice needs outside the annual cycle.
Frequently asked questions
What annual filings does a UK LLP need?
A UK LLP generally needs annual accounts at Companies House, a confirmation statement at Companies House, and a Partnership Tax Return to HMRC. Members may also have individual filing obligations.
Who is responsible for UK LLP compliance?
The designated members are responsible for ensuring the LLP's Companies House and HMRC obligations are met. Using an agent or accountant does not remove the legal responsibility of the designated members.
Does a non-resident member have to file a UK tax return?
It depends on the member's circumstances, UK-source income, activities, allocations, and other UK filing triggers. A non-resident should not assume that membership alone is either a filing requirement or an exemption.
Can Nomadic Go handle annual LLP filings?
Nomadic Go can provide formation and compliance products where listed. Accounting and tax work is fulfilled through Nomadic Tax or qualified accounting professionals, depending on the product and your requirements.
What happens if LLP accounts are late?
Companies House can impose late filing penalties and other enforcement consequences. Repeated or serious failures can create additional risk, so the designated members should monitor the exact deadline shown for the LLP.
