Annual Compliances for LLP
An LLP's compliance obligations don't stop after registration — Form 11, Form 8 and the income tax return are due every year, regardless of whether the LLP did any business.
Every LLP must file Form 11 (Annual Return) within 60 days of the financial year end, and Form 8 (Statement of Account and Solvency) within 30 days of six months from the year end, along with its income tax return. LLPs whose turnover or contribution crosses prescribed thresholds also require their accounts to be audited before Form 8 is filed. These filings are mandatory even for LLPs with no business activity during the year — a nil filing is still a filing.

From initial consultation to completion.

Why annual filings shouldn't slip
What sets our approach apart.
Penalties accrue per day of delay
Late filing of Form 11 or Form 8 attracts additional fees that increase the longer the delay continues, with no upper cap in many cases.
Nil-activity LLPs are not exempt
Even a dormant LLP with no transactions during the year is still required to file both forms — many assume otherwise and get caught out.
Non-compliance can block other filings
Pending annual returns can hold up subsequent changes to the LLP, such as adding a partner or changing the agreement.
