What is a Limited Liability Partnership?

In the UK there are different types of business structures which can be adopted for many different reason. A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is often the preferred method of professional organisations such as solicitors, accountant and architects. It is operated in the same way as a regular partnership but provides the members with Limited Liability.

Structure and Formation!

The LLP tax structure is different to Limited by shares as the partnership does not pay corporation tax. The LLP members pay tax on the profits they receive form the LLP as an individual and file yearly tax returns. The partnership will still be required to file a confirmation statement and accounts annually with Companies House. They must also ensure they  update Companies House records with any changes to the member’s details or addresses.

At present Companies House only provide the option to register Limited Liability Partnerships by post. This involves completing the LLIN01 form which can be very time consuming. Standard Postal applications take approximately 5 working days to be registered and costs £40. You can apply for a same day application at Companies House for £100.
