Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) were introduced by the Limited Liability Partnerships Act (LLPA) 2000 with effect from 6 April 2001. An LLP is a body corporate with separate legal personality offering limited liability for its members but with greater regulatory provisions than for traditional partnerships including audit requirements and the obligation to file accounts at Companies House. Generally the tax rules operate by treating LLPs and their members in the same way as traditional partnerships and their partners. Broadly this means that an LLP is not treated as separate and distinct from its members and the members themselves are treated as carrying on the business of the LLP in partnership with each other.
