With all of the exciting changes that have been going on in your professional life, it is easy to overlook the impact on your personal affairs. To help you stay on top of these, we have put together a summary of some of the information you should be aware of.  \nAlthough an LLP is a separate legal entity, it is not taxed in the same way as a limited company. Individual partners in an LLP are taxed on their share of the profits and chargeable gains on disposal of partnership assets in the same way as a traditional partnership would, so it is important you have an understanding of how this affects you.  \nBy now you will have received your P45 effective from the date of your appointment. This is because you are no longer an employee of the firm, but a self-employed Member. A step which is often overlooked is the requirement to notify HMRC of this change by registering as selfemployed. Ideally you should do this as soon as possible, although you will not receive a penalty as long as you file your self assessment tax return and pay the amount due on time.  \nTo do this you will need the Partnership’s Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR), which is a 10 digit code specific to the LLP. Your finance partner should be able to give you this. The process of registering is straightforward via an on-line application. In approximately 10 days HMRC will then send you an activation code for your account. It is important that you use this activation code before it expires (normally 14 days) otherwise you will have to apply for a new code.  \nThe firm will continue to pay you a monthly amount. However, instead of being salary, these are payments on account of your expected profit entitlement for the year, known as drawings. Because these are not classed as salary they are paid gross of income tax, but critically they do not include any deductions for National Insurance Contributions (unless your firm withholds tax reserves on your behalf) .  \nAs an employee, the partnership will have deducted Class 1 national insurance from your salary. As a self-employed professional you have to pay Class 2 and 4 contributions.  \nFor the 2017/18 tax year Class 2 contributions are a set amount of £2.85 for every week you are self-employed providing that you have taxable profits expected to be in excess of £6,025 for the year.  \nThe amount of Class 4 contributions payable is calculated as a percentage of your taxable profits as follows:  \n\n| Profits below £8,164 | 0% |\n| --- | --- |\n| Profits between £8,164 and £45,000 | 9% |\n| Profits in excess of £45,000 | 2% |\n\nBoth of these amounts are now included in your tax return and paid alongside your income tax liabilities.  \nThe partnership profits you will be taxed on are set out in the Partnership tax return, which is prepared annually, and is normally prepared alongside the LLP’s annual accounts. Once finalised you will be given a copy of your page from the partnership return to give to your accountant to form the basis of your self assessment tax return.  \nLLPs can draw up their accounts to any date in the tax year. For established businesses, tax is assessed on the profits of the accounting period ending in the tax year. For example, an LLP with a 30 April 2017 year end will include these profits in their 2017/18 tax return.  \nThe profit per the accounts is the starting point for the calculation of taxable profits, which then needs to be adjusted for items such as depreciation, capital allowances and qualifying personal expenses.  \nThe extent to which you can claim personal business expenditure will depend on the partnership’s internal rules, but can include items such as use of home as office, travel and motor costs and other business expenditure. To be able to claim these they have to be included in the partnership tax return, and they act to reduce the taxable profit for the whole partnership.  \nMost people are aware that you have to pay your ta","cbCaiiU6HtTpMzqu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiU6HtTpMzqu","pdf",439772,"English","# Becoming a Partner\n## LLP taxation and individual partner treatment\n## HMRC self-employed registration and UTR\n## Drawings vs salary and National Insurance Classes 2 and 4\n## Self assessment, tax return timing, and profit calculations\n## HMRC payments on account and worked example","[{\"question\":\"How does an LLP partnership affect how partners are taxed?\",\"answer\":\"An LLP is a separate legal entity but is not taxed like a limited company.
