Strategic support for partnerships

Goodridge Accountants offer a comprehensive range of support services specifically tailored for partnerships. Our extensive expertise helps businesses grasp the advantages and challenges partnership structures.

A partnership agreement will establish a framework to ensure compliance because it defines the rules and procedures specific to the partnership’s requirements. Throughout every step Goodridge Accountants will help you navigate the complexities of partnerships, define your objectives to enable you to capitalise on your strengths.

We stand by you, supporting your drive for success and desire to unlock your full business potential.

Understanding tax implications

Contrary to sole traders or limited companies, where each partner is accountable for their own share of profits – in partnerships, the partners themselves are individually responsible for the business’ finances and tax liabilities.

We simplify the tax and financial obligations for partnerships and navigate tax requirements adeptly. Submission of the partnership tax return forms (SA800) summarise the partnership’s financial activity to provide accurate HMRC tax payments. By consolidating financial data from all partners, we provide HMRC with a holistic view of the business’s tax status.

Partnership tax returns and compliance

In the UK general partnerships, limited partnerships, and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), must file a partnership tax annual return. Each partner is responsible for reporting their income share on their personal tax return, alongside filing the partnership return. We guarantee precise preparation and compliance to mitigate penalty risks.

For partnerships involved in international operations or with overseas partners, additional factors like double taxation treaties may come into play, necessitating guidance from a tax adviser for informed decisions.

Guidance on profit-sharing arrangements

We offer comprehensive guidance on profit-sharing arrangements and partner distributions, assisting in creating fair and equitable structures that align with the business objectives.

A meticulously crafted profit-sharing agreement will clearly delineate the methodology employed to calculate and distribute profits among involved parties, outlining specific formulas or criteria for determining each party’s share.

Resolving disputes or restructuring partnerships

Lack of formal documentation allows for easy set-up, but it can lead to confusion when issues arise. Disputes can be complex due to the informality inherent in partnership structures, understanding this at the outset can be crucial to navigating disputes effectively later.

When there is a dispute or need for restructuring, we are by your side, we offer partnership services designed to facilitate resolution and protect the future operation of your partnership.
