As published

863 Limited liability partnerships

(1) For income tax purposes, if a limited liability partnership carries on a trade, profession or business with a view to profit— (a) all the activities of the limited liability partnership are treated as carried on in partnership by its members (and not by the limited liability partnership as such), (b) anything done by, to or in relation to the limited liability partnership for the purposes of, or in connection with, any of its activities is treated as done by, to or in relation to the members as partners, and (c) the property of the limited liability partnership is treated as held by the members as partnership property. References in this subsection to the activities of the limited liability partnership are to anything that it does, whether or not in the course of carrying on a trade, profession or business with a view to profit. (2) For all purposes, except as otherwise provided, in the Income Tax Acts— (a) references to a firm or partnership include a limited liability partnership in relation to which subsection (1) applies, (b) references to members or partners of a firm or partnership include members of such a limited liability partnership, (c) references to a company do not include such a limited liability partnership, and (d) references to members of a company do not include members of such a limited liability partnership. (3) Subsection (1) continues to apply in relation to a limited liability partnership which no longer carries on any trade, profession or business with a view to profit— (a) if the cessation is only temporary, or (b) during a period of winding up following a permanent cessation, provided— (i) the winding up is not for reasons connected in whole or in part with the avoidance of tax, and (ii) the period of winding up is not unreasonably prolonged. This is subject to subsection (4). (4) Subsection (1) ceases to apply in relation to a limited liability partnership— (a) on the appointment of a liquidator or (if earlier) the making of a winding-up order by the court, or (b) on the occurrence of any event under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom corresponding to an event specified in paragraph (a).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
