Volume : III, Issue : XI, December - 2013 “ Practical Issues In Taxation Of A Partership With Special Reference To A Llp” Sanjay Kumar Sharma , Renu Yadav and Poonam DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : A general partnership and a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) both own separate governing laws.
While a partnership firm is an unincorporated entity under the Indian Partnership Law, a LLP Firm is an
incorporated entity having a separate legal existence from its partners under the Limited Liability Partnership Law.
As far as the Income Tax Law is concerned, it recognizes a partnership as a separate tax entity for charge of income
tax on the income of the partnership firm. The Income Tax Law contains similar provisions for charge of income tax
on the income of a partnership firm and a LLP. Taxable income is computed after allowing certain deductions from
the profits on account of payment of remuneration and interest to its partners subject to certain conditions.
However, there exist certain procedural differences in taxation of a LLP such as tax recovery procedure. Apart from
this, there are certain unique tax advantages which a LLP firm enjoys over a company. These include nonapplicability
of certain provisions relating to dividend distribution tax, provisions relating to deemed dividends tax
and so on. In view of the concept of LLP being new in India, certain issues pose challenge with regard to taxation of
a LLP firm in India. This research article attempts to analyse the tax issues of a partnership with special reference to
a LLP, the conversion of company into a LLP and the possible ways to tackle these tax issues.
