Annual Declaration
The first Annual Declaration must be lodged within 15 months from the date of registration. Subsequent declarations must be lodged once in every calendar year but not more than 15 months after the date of the last declaration.
The LLP Act does not prescribe the requirements for financial year end as it does not prescribe financial reporting. However the law requires annual reporting of solvency status and it is very likely that financials have to be prepared in order to ascertain the solvency status. The first annual declaration must be submitted within 15 months from the date of the registration of the LLP. Subsequent declarations must be submitted within 15 months from the date of the last declaration but at least once in each calendar year.
Like the Companies Act, the LLP Act prohibits one from trading if he is a party in the contracting of a debt and he has no reasonable ground of expectation of being able to pay the debt. It is also an offence to carry on trading if it falls within the scope of fraudulent trading. One may face criminal sanctions as well as personal liability for the debts incurred, if convicted.
