Authorised tax agents can now use a single spreadsheet to register ten or more partners in a limited liability partnership (LLP) for self assessment and National Insurance, rather than having to fill in individual forms SA401 or SA402.
The nominated partner must sign the spreadsheet, which has to be completed in a font no smaller than 12 point Times New Roman.
The information to be included depends on which of four types partner is involved, but the LLP’s name, address and unique taxpayer reference should be supplied in all cases.
