Sound familiar?
Partnership tax is more work than most people expect.
A business partnership triggers two layers of compliance: the SA800 for the partnership itself, and a Self Assessment for every individual partner. When those are handled separately — or not coordinated at all — partners can find themselves with an unexpected tax bill, a missed deadline or a profit split that does not hold up under scrutiny. It is rarely a crisis, but it is a consistent source of avoidable stress.
- SA800 due date missed because no one owns the process end to end
- Profit shares calculated late, leaving partners guessing their personal tax liability
- Partners filing individual Self Assessments without coordinating the partnership figures
What a properly handled partnership looks like
When the partnership accounts and each partner’s Self Assessment are managed together, the numbers tie up, the deadlines are met and nobody is left with a surprise. That is what this service covers.
- SA800 owned and filed on time — no chasing, no missed deadlines
- Profit shares calculated and confirmed early so each partner knows their position
- Each partner’s Self Assessment prepared from coordinated figures — consistent and accurate
- One fixed monthly fee covering the whole partnership — no unexpected charges at year end

Everything a partnership needs, covered.
From the partnership return to each partner’s personal tax, the compliance side is handled in one place with one point of contact.
Partnership Tax Return (SA800)
The SA800 is prepared from your records, reviewed with you, and filed with HMRC before the deadline. Profit allocations are calculated accurately and the partnership statement issued to each partner so everyone has the figures they need. No guesswork, no last-minute requests for information you filed months ago.
Core compliancePartners’ Self Assessment Returns
Each partner’s individual Self Assessment is prepared using the same underlying figures, keeping everything consistent and reducing the risk of discrepancies that attract HMRC attention. Tax liabilities are confirmed well before the payment deadline, so partners are not budgeting blind. Coordination across the partnership means nothing falls through the gap.
Included as standardBookkeeping and Year-End Accounts
Clean, up-to-date bookkeeping through Xero means the accounts are ready when you need them — not produced in a rush once the year has closed. Monthly or quarterly bank reconciliations keep the records current and the numbers visible. Year-end accounts are prepared to the standard your bank, mortgage lender or prospective partners would expect.

What makes this different from any other accountant in Devon.
Three things that matter when you are choosing someone to handle your partnership accounts.
Two decades of real experience
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — industries where partnership and profit-share structures are genuinely common. That breadth means he already understands how diverse income streams, unequal profit splits and changing partner arrangements work in practice. You will not be paying for him to learn on your time.
Answers when you need them
Partnership accounting generates questions — from profit allocation disputes to changes in partnership deed. Questions put to DG Accountancy get answered the day they are asked, in plain English. There is no queue, no junior fielding your call, and no waiting three days for a reply to a straightforward query.
Cloud records, always current
Bookkeeping runs through Xero, so the partnership records are live, accessible and already reconciled when the year-end approaches. No shoeboxes, no catch-up exercise in January, no delay because someone needs to ‘open the books.’ Partners can see the numbers when they need to — not when the accountant gets round to it.
Up and running in four straightforward steps.
Most new partnership clients are fully set up and their compliance is in hand within a week of first contact.

Receive your fixed-fee quote
You get a written quote covering the partnership return, partners’ Self Assessments and any bookkeeping or advisory work agreed. Everything is fixed and confirmed upfront — no hourly rates accumulating in the background.
Onboarding and Xero setup
Existing records are reviewed and tidied, Xero is connected to your bank feeds and any outstanding information is gathered. If the books need catching up, that is scoped and priced separately so there are no surprises. Most partnerships are fully onboarded within a week.
Compliance handled, partners informed
Returns are filed on time, profit allocations are confirmed in advance and each partner knows their tax position well before the payment deadline. Questions get answered the day they are asked. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
What people usually ask before getting started.
Do you handle both the SA800 partnership return and each partner’s individual Self Assessment?
Yes — and coordinating them is the point. The SA800 is prepared first, the profit allocations are confirmed, and each partner’s Self Assessment is then completed using those same figures. That keeps the numbers consistent and avoids discrepancies that can prompt HMRC to look more closely. Handling them separately, with different accountants, is where things tend to go wrong.
What does partnership accounting cost, and what is included?
Pricing is fixed and agreed before any work starts. A typical partnership engagement covers the SA800, partners’ Self Assessments and year-end accounts for one monthly fee. Bookkeeping, VAT and payroll can be added as required. You will receive a written quote before committing — no hourly rates, no bills that arrive larger than expected.
The partnership books are behind. Is that a problem?
Not an unusual situation. A catch-up exercise is scoped and priced separately from the ongoing monthly fee, so you know exactly what it will cost before work begins. Once the records are current and running through Xero, the ongoing compliance runs smoothly. Most partnerships are fully up to date within a few weeks of starting.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term beyond the initial three months. If the arrangement is not working, you give notice and leave with your records in order and nothing outstanding. The goal is that you stay because the service is worth it, not because you are locked in.
What happens to the partnership accounts if one partner joins or leaves during the year?
A change in partnership composition mid-year affects how profits are allocated for each period and may require the partnership deed to be reviewed. This is handled as part of the year-end work, with each affected partner’s Self Assessment reflecting the correct figures for the period they were a partner. It is a common enough situation — it just needs to be dealt with accurately rather than ignored.
How far in advance will I know each partner’s tax bill?
Once the year-end accounts are finalised and the profit split is confirmed, each partner’s liability can be calculated well before the 31 January payment deadline. In most cases partners have a clear figure at least two to three months before payment is due. That gives time to budget, transfer funds or adjust drawings if needed — rather than finding out what is owed when the deadline is already close.
