File Abbreviated LLP accounts online?

File Abbreviated LLP accounts online?

Didn't find your answer?

Is it possible to file Abbreviated LLP accounts online using Companies House software? I have a client who is very late in getting info to me and am wondering if it will be possible for me to file online, or would they have to get down there by midnight tonight to deliver personally?

I have seen differing answers and was wondering if anyone here could advise. I had thought all accounts were now able to be filed online, but it seems not.

Thanks in advance.

Cannot file LLP accounts online

... according to the guidance.

Do you know the trick of shortening the accounting period by one day?  Provided you do it today, i.e: before the filing deadline, you will get another 3 months from today to file the accounts, which can still be prepared to the original accounting date under the "within 7 days before or after" rule.

That sounds interesting. So I can shorten it by one day, even though that would meant the accounts being due yesterday? Would the Accounting reference date then stay as 29th April? Or would it revert to the date I make the accounts up to? 

Many thanks for this. Could be a life saver.

Has to be done before

the filing deadline. So if it was yesterday then no luck I'm afraid.

Ah no - the deadline is today. My worry was that shortening the accounting period would mean the accounts would have been due yesterday because of the new accounting reference. I am reading that I will get another three months, but just double checking that this is the case. Am guilty of overchecking things I'm afraid.

 

So if I shorten the period by one day today, I still get another three months to file. Excellent.
