What is form LL AA02?

By Ben Davies · Updated 5 October 2026

Short answer: there is no LLP version of form AA02, and if you're looking for one to file a dormant LLP's accounts, you won't find it.

LL AA02 did exist, but it was never a dormant-accounts form. It was the notice used to tell Companies House that an auditor had been removed from an LLP, and it was withdrawn on 27 July 2021. The Companies House collection of LLP forms lists no AA02 equivalent — there is no short dormant-accounts form for LLPs the way there is for a dormant company limited by shares.

So what does a dormant LLP file?

Its own accounts. A dormant LLP prepares a set of dormant accounts and delivers them like any other LLP accounts. There's no fill-in-the-boxes form standing in for them, so the content has to be right:

• A balance sheet for the period — nil for an LLP that has never held anything, or, for one that traded before going dormant, the figures it still carries (money owed to or by it, loans from members), as long as nothing about them changes in the year — nothing paid or collected, no interest added, nothing written off. No share capital line, because LLPs don't have shares; the equivalent is members' interests.
• The audit-exemption statement, citing section 480 of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the 2008 LLP accounts and audit regulations, relating to dormant LLPs.
• The members' acknowledgement of their responsibilities for accounting records and the preparation of accounts.
• A designated member's signature — LLPs have members, not directors — with those statements printed above it.

No profit and loss account — the dormant accounts an LLP files at Companies House don't need one.

How it gets delivered

DormantFile files it online, straight to Companies House through its filing route for software. We build the iXBRL accounts document with exactly the statements above, nil or carrying the LLP's figures, submit it, and watch it until it's accepted — and you get a record you can print.

Companies House's own online accounts service doesn't take LLP accounts at all, and Companies House has confirmed that accounts filed on or after 1 April 2028 must go through commercial software — LLP accounts included.
