UNITED KINGDOM – LLP

Britain is one of the leading financial and business centers in the world and a significant jurisdiction for international tax planning. This country is known worldwide as a jurisdiction with a standard level of taxation, so in no way be a “tax haven”. At the same time, UK law allows the registration and use of companies with zero tax rates – the LLP. The legislation on LP (Limited Partnership) exists in the UK for almost a century, but exactly in its present form (Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000), this law opens up all the advantages of using LLP.

The company LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) – a partnership that has at least two founders; is registered by submitting registration forms (form LLP 2) and the statute (Partnership Deed) in the register of companies in England and Wales (Companies House). Accordingly, after completion of registration, Companies House issues a registration certificate (Certificate of Incorporation), as well as all other company documents drawn up – general power of attorney, compensation letters, etc. English LLP with foreign partners that do not lead commercial activities in the UK and receive no incomes in its territory are not subject to tax.

Under UK tax law, the LLP is not in this country as a separate subject of taxation (respectively, an LLP is not required to obtain a tax registration number in the UK), and taxes on profits obtained by LLP must pay its founders (“Designated Members”) at the place of their residence, in the proportion of their interests in the LLP. Thereby, the English LLP with a legally proper corporate structure will be the instrument with a zero rate of tax.
