Limited Liability
One of the main advantages of LPs is that, provided they do not take part in the management of the LP, the liability of each of the limited partners is capped at the amount of its contribution to the LP, which means that limited partners benefit from the same limited liability status as shareholders in a limited company.
Tax Transparency
LPs are broadly transparent for UK direct tax purposes and are not treated as separate taxable entities by HMRC. UK tax residents who are partners in LPs are directly assessed to tax on their share of the income or gains of the LP and therefore are not subject to multiple layers of UK taxation.
Partners who are not UK resident or ordinarily resident will only pay UK tax on UK source income, including their share of profits arising in the UK if the partnership carries on a trade in the UK.
