Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s Discuss Your Requirements

What’s the Difference Between a Partnership and an LLP?
A general partnership isn’t a separate legal entity, so partners share unlimited liability. An LLP is a separate legal entity registered at Companies House, and members’ liability is generally limited. Both are taxed transparently on the individual partners or members. The right structure depends on your goals, so if you are thinking of changing, we can help you understand the practical and tax consequences first.
Do we Each Need a Separate Tax Return?
Yes. The firm files one partnership return (SA800), and each partner reports their share on their personal return. We prepare both from the same figures, so the information is consistent and each partner’s share is clearly supported.
What are Designated Members Responsible for?
Every LLP needs at least two. They’re responsible for statutory filings, keeping records up to date, notifying Companies House of member changes and identity verification. We provide support and reminders, so these duties are met on time and nothing is overlooked.
How are LLP Profits Shared and Taxed?
As set out in the LLP agreement, or equally if there’s none. Each member is taxed as self-employed on their share, whether or not they’ve drawn it. We help document profit sharing clearly and keep partner accounts accurate each period, so everyone understands their position.
Can you Help us Convert from a Partnership to an LLP?
Yes, from incorporation and HMRC registration to planning the transfer of contracts, assets and bank accounts, with a review of CGT, capital allowances and VAT first. Mapping out the tax consequences before you convert helps avoid unexpected costs and makes the changeover smoother.
Does My LLP Need an Audit?
Not always. Small LLPs within the thresholds can usually claim exemption. We check each year and tell you well before year-end. This gives you time to plan, whether an audit is required or not, and to prepare your accounts accordingly.
What Is the SA800, and who Files It?
The SA800 is the partnership tax return filed by the firm. It reports the partnership’s profits and how they are shared between partners or members, and each partner then reports their share on their own personal return. We track it in your filing tracker alongside other deadlines, so you can see at a glance what is due and when.
What are Capital Accounts and Drawings?
Capital accounts record the money each partner has invested in the business, while drawings are the amounts partners take out during the year. We keep these accurate every period so profit allocation and partner balances are clear. This also supports fair and transparent profit sharing, particularly in multi-partner practices.
