TinyTax fully supports filing LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) annual accounts with Companies House electronically. This guide explains how LLP filing works and how to get started.

How LLPs Differ from Limited Companies

LLPs are taxed as partnerships, not corporations. This means:

  • No CT600 — LLPs don't file corporation tax returns. Each member reports their share of profits on their individual Self Assessment tax return instead.
  • Accounts only — LLPs file annual accounts with Companies House, but there's no HMRC CT600 submission.
  • Members, not directors — LLPs have designated members rather than directors.
ℹ If you currently file paper accounts with Companies House, TinyTax lets you switch to electronic filing. It's faster and you get instant confirmation.

What You'll Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

  1. Your company number — This starts with OC (England/Wales), SO (Scotland), or NC (Northern Ireland)
  2. Your profit and loss figures — Turnover, cost of sales, expenses
  3. Your balance sheet figures — Assets, liabilities, and members' equity
  4. Your Companies House authentication code — A 6-character code sent to your registered office. See our auth code guide if you need to request one.

Getting Started

  1. Sign up at tinytax.co.uk and create your account
  2. Search for your company using your OC/SO/NC company number
  3. TinyTax automatically detects your LLP and sets you up for accounts-only filing — the CT600 option is disabled because LLPs don't need it
  4. Select your company type — Trading, Property, or Dormant (this determines which P&L fields appear)
ℹ TinyTax recognises LLPs automatically from your company number. You don't need to configure anything — the accounts-only filing path is selected for you.

Filing Your Accounts

Profit and Loss

Enter your income and expenditure figures. The fields you see depend on your company type:

  • Trading LLPs — Turnover, cost of raw materials, staff costs, depreciation, and other charges
  • Property LLPs — Property rental income, associated costs, and expenses

Balance Sheet

Enter your assets, liabilities, and equity figures. TinyTax automatically fetches your prior year figures from Companies House where available.

ℹ The "Called up share capital not paid" field doesn't appear for LLPs — it only applies to limited companies with share capital.

Review and Submit

Once you've entered your figures:

  1. Click Preview to review your generated accounts
  2. TinyTax creates your accounts in micro-entity iXBRL format — the format Companies House requires for electronic filing
  3. Click Submit Accounts and enter your Companies House authentication code
  4. Your accounts are filed directly with Companies House
You'll receive confirmation once Companies House accepts your filing.

Common Questions

Do I need to file a CT600?

No. LLPs are taxed as partnerships, so there's no corporation tax return to file. Each member reports their share of profits on their personal Self Assessment tax return (SA800/SA104).

Can TinyTax file my members' Self Assessment returns?

No. TinyTax handles LLP accounts filing with Companies House only. Members need to file their Self Assessment returns separately, either directly with HMRC or through accounting software.

What format are the accounts?

TinyTax generates micro-entity iXBRL accounts — the standard electronic format required by Companies House. This is the same format used by all electronic filing software.

I currently file paper accounts — can I switch?

Yes. TinyTax files your accounts electronically with Companies House. It's quicker than posting paper accounts and you get instant confirmation of receipt.

How do I get a Companies House authentication code?

Visit gov.uk/file-your-company-annual-accounts, click Request an authentication code, and enter your company number. The code is posted to your registered office within 5 working days. See our full auth code guide for more details.
