A review of two aspects of the tax rules on partnerships
Seeking views on proposals for changing the partnerships rules in line with government’s principles and objectives for fairness and flexibility.
Detail
At Budget 2013, the Chancellor announced that the government would consult on changes to two aspects of the tax rules on partnerships in order to prevent tax loss arising from:
- disguising employment relationships through limited liability partnerships; and
- certain arrangements involving allocation of profits and losses among partnership members
Those changes will take effect from 6 April 2014.
The government would welcome views on the detailed design of the changes and on how to ensure that any impacts outside the specified targeted areas can be reduced without giving rise to uncertainty and avoidance.
