A
Limited Liability Partnership, LLP,
is a type of business entity. It is
taxed like a partnership (with fewer
taxes compared to a company) and has
the benefit of limited liability like
a company. This means that the benefits
of a company and a partnership are
combined in the Limited Liability
Partnership (LLP).
The LLP resembles
the limited company structure in two
basic ways. Firstly, it is a corporate
body with separate legal entity. Secondly,
the liability of its members is limited
to their contributions only
A major advantage
of forming an LLP is tax benefit.
This is because the partners of an
LLP pay tax on their individual incomes
only and there is no Corporate Tax
applied on an LLP. On the other hand,
the shareholders of a limited company
pay tax on their individual incomes
as well as Corporate Tax from the
company's income.
