UK Partnership Accounts & Tax Returns

Need to File Partnership Accounts?

To file partnership accounts in the UK, the partnership's financial records are used to prepare its year-end accounts and Partnership Tax Return (SA800). The return reports the partnership's income, expenses and taxable profit or loss and allocates the appropriate share to each partner.

The nominated partner is responsible for the Partnership Tax Return, while each individual partner normally reports their allocated share of partnership income on their own Self Assessment tax return.

The Online Accountants can prepare your year-end partnership accounts, calculate the allocation between partners and file the Partnership Tax Return with HMRC from £499 + VAT. Our standard turnaround is usually 7–14 days once we have the information needed.

Partnership Accounting Explained

What Does Filing Partnership Accounts Involve?

An ordinary business partnership is not taxed in exactly the same way as a limited company. Instead, the partnership calculates its overall taxable profit or loss and this is allocated between the partners in accordance with the appropriate profit-sharing arrangements.

The partnership's financial information is used to prepare its year-end accounts and complete the SA800 Partnership Tax Return. The Partnership Statement then identifies the share of profit, loss and other relevant income allocated to each partner.

That makes accurate partnership accounts particularly important: an error at partnership level can flow through into the tax returns of more than one person.

  • Prepare year-end partnership accounts from your bookkeeping records
  • Review income and business expenditure
  • Calculate taxable partnership profit or loss
  • Allocate the result between the partners
  • Prepare and electronically submit the SA800 to HMRC
  • Provide the figures needed by the partners for their own tax returns

Getting Ready

What Do I Need to File Partnership Accounts?

The exact information required depends on the partnership, but having complete bookkeeping records makes preparation considerably easier.

  • Partnership UTR
  • Names and details of all partners
  • Accounting records for the period
  • Business bank statements
  • Sales and income records
  • Purchase and expense records
  • Details of business assets and equipment
  • Loan and finance information where relevant
  • Previous accounts and tax return where available
  • Details of changes in partners or profit-sharing arrangements

Already using cloud bookkeeping?

If your partnership keeps its books using accounting software, you can normally provide us with accountant access rather than sending large quantities of paperwork.

Spreadsheets and other electronic bookkeeping records can also be provided securely.

Changing accountants? We can request the appropriate professional information from your previous accountant as part of the handover process.

HMRC Deadlines

When Do Partnership Accounts Need to Be Filed?

For an ordinary partnership with individual partners, the Partnership Tax Return follows the normal Self Assessment timetable. Different rules can apply in some circumstances.

Requirement Usual Deadline What It Means
Paper Partnership Tax Return 31 October Usual paper filing deadline following the end of the relevant tax year.
Online Partnership Tax Return 31 January Usual electronic filing deadline following the end of the relevant tax year.
Partners' online Self Assessment returns 31 January Individual partners normally report their share of partnership income through their own returns.
Self Assessment balancing payment 31 January Individual partners normally pay the balance of Self Assessment tax due by this date.
Second payment on account 31 July Applies where an individual partner is required to make payments on account.
Important: unusual circumstances can produce different filing dates — particularly where a partnership contains a company as a partner or HMRC issues a notice to file at a different time.
Important Distinction

Partnership Accounts vs LLP Accounts

A traditional business partnership and a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) are not the same legal structure and their filing requirements differ.

Feature Ordinary Partnership Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
HMRC Partnership Tax Return Normally required Normally required
Partner/member tax returns Partners normally report their allocated share Members normally report their allocated share
Companies House registration Not for an ordinary general partnership Yes
Annual accounts filed at Companies House Not normally for an ordinary general partnership Yes, subject to the applicable LLP requirements
Are you an LLP? This page is designed primarily for ordinary partnerships. If your business is registered as a Limited Liability Partnership, use our dedicated LLP accounts service instead.

Partnership Accounts FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Filing Partnership Accounts

How do I file partnership accounts with HMRC?
The partnership's accounting records are used to establish its income, expenses, taxable profit or loss and the allocation between partners. The nominated partner is responsible for ensuring the Partnership Tax Return (SA800) is filed with HMRC. Each individual partner normally uses their allocated figures when completing their own Self Assessment return.
What is an SA800 Partnership Tax Return?
The SA800 is HMRC's Partnership Tax Return. It reports relevant partnership income and information and includes a Partnership Statement showing how profits, losses or other income are allocated between the partners.
Do partnerships file accounts with Companies House?
An ordinary general partnership is not normally registered with Companies House and therefore does not file annual statutory accounts there in the same way as a limited company or LLP. Different requirements apply to LLPs and certain other partnership structures.
Does each partner need a Self Assessment tax return?
Individual partners normally need to report their share of partnership income through Self Assessment. The partnership return and the partners' personal returns are therefore connected but separate filing obligations.
Who is responsible for filing the partnership return?
The nominated partner is normally responsible for managing the partnership's tax return and keeping the partnership's business records.
What is the deadline for filing an SA800 online?
For a typical partnership consisting of individual partners, the usual online deadline is 31 January following the relevant tax year. Special rules can apply in some circumstances.
What happens if a Partnership Tax Return is late?
Late filing can result in penalties. Partnership late-filing rules can also affect the partners, so it is sensible to prepare the partnership figures early enough for individual partners to complete their own tax returns accurately and on time.
Can you prepare partnership accounts from spreadsheets?
Yes. Depending on the quality and completeness of the records, we can work from suitable spreadsheets as well as popular bookkeeping and cloud-accounting packages.
Can I change accountants before filing my partnership accounts?
Yes. After you appoint us, we can contact your previous accountant for the appropriate professional information and help make the transition as straightforward as possible.
How long does it take to prepare partnership accounts?
Our average turnaround is normally around 7–14 days once we have received the complete accounting records and information required. More complex accounts or incomplete bookkeeping may take longer.
Are individual partners' tax returns included?
The partnership's SA800 and the individual partners' Self Assessment returns are separate returns. Check the scope of the service you order to determine whether individual partner tax returns are included or need to be ordered separately.
My partnership accounts are overdue. Can you help?
Yes. If your Partnership Tax Return is overdue, contact us with the relevant tax year and the current state of your bookkeeping records. We can establish what needs to be prepared and help bring the partnership's filing position up to date.
