Partnership woes: recent announcements

BKL Briefing, Insights, Publications

As well as the changes to “Mixed” (and perhaps not-so-mixed) Partnerships to which we have already alluded in an earlier briefing (new readers start here), December’s “Autumn Statement” also announced changes to the tax treatment of certain members of LLPs. Don’t be fooled by the disingenuous references in HMRC’s published material to “Salaried Members” and “disguised salary”; the draft provisions are much wider than that.

We’ve prepared a further briefing note, based on material available as of today: find it here. It’s something of a moving feast though: the note (like the “Mixed Partnership” one) will be updated from time to time as further guidance and commentary becomes available, so check back for updates. Meanwhile, to explore how the changes may affect your business, please get in touch with your usual contact partner or (if you don’t have one) use our enquiry form.
