Nominee LLP Designated Member Service for Public Records for one year: It is a perfectly legal device which preserves the privacy of an individual. It is designed to help a person who would rather not disclose their interest or association with a given corporate body (LLP). The Nominee Member cannot and will not enter into any business contract or financial or moral commitment. Coddan will act as Nominee LLP Designated Member for limited liability partnerships on an annual basis. This service is primarily designed to help people keep non-trading or dormant LLPs fully compliant with the law and perhaps to protect the identities of the persons actually controlling the LLP. At the same time the appointed nominees are not actually entitled to manage the LLP. We provide the beneficial owner with a Power of Attorney empowering him to run the business, manage the LLP's activities and open and operate the LLP's bank accounts. Nominee LLP Designated Member will only sign LLP accounts and annual returns prepared by the accountants of the LLP.

Nominee Designated Member For Trading Business LLP: A nominee member serves as a proxy for the owner(s) of a LLP and acts on their behalf. The names of the LLP's beneficial owners are not disclosed to any third party. Nominee members do not usually have an active role or function in the actual business of the LLP. A nominee designated member is someone who in fact is renting his or her name to you. In other words, the name of this person is used and not yours for the incorporation documents. Coddan will act as Nominee Designated Member for limited liability partnerships on an annual basis. We provide the beneficial owner with a General Power of Attorney empowering him to run the business, manage the LLP's activities and open and operate the LLP's bank accounts. We will also include pre-signed, undated letters of resignation from nominee member, plus Notarised and Apostilled copy of Nominee Member' passport. Nominee Member will NOT be a signatory to the LLP bank account nor will run the LLP bank account on behalf of the LLP.

Nominee Member For Trading Companies: Nominee Member would become part of the LLP day-to-day business. In particular, Nominee Member would raise invoices, sign contracts and other business documentation. Obviously, the Nominee Member would remain fully responsible to act only in accordance with the wishes of the owners of the LLP, insofar as they are legitimate. Coddan will act as Nominee LLP Member for limited liability partnerships on an annual basis. At this stage, the Nominee Member would also control over the bank account of the LLP (under a separate agreement we may provide this service to act as secondary signatory only, not the primary signatory). It is the only truly effective solution to shield the beneficial owner of the LLP from any undesired link to the LLP. Obviously, it is also the most costly one, because it would involve management fees based on time spent.

Nominee Membership How it Works: Sometimes, for tax or other reasons a person does not wish to be seen as associated with a LLP, or be seen as a beneficiary of a LLP, Nominee Membership Service is the answer. A nominee Member is someone who in fact is renting his or her name to you. Nominee Member signs the LLP Agreement to form your entity. The nominee will sign a General Power of Attorney document, which gives you full power to manage your LLP. The nominee will give you his signed and undated letter of resignation document, which gives you the peace of mind that he can't act against you. The above information is general and is intended as a summary only. Clients should seek further clarification if required before deciding if they wish to engage nominee members. We expressly reserve the right to provide this service to anyone for any reason.
REV BN 14: LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS. SUMMARY OF MEASURES
Proposals to prevent tax loss, including through investment and property investment LLPs, and to confirm the general tax rules which ensure that Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are taxed as partnerships were announced today. This builds on the proposals that were offered for comment in the Pre-Budget Report. The proposals will have effect from 6 April 2001 when LLPs become available.
FURTHER DETAILS
LLPs have been developed to combine organisational flexibility with the benefits of limited liability, thus providing a modern alternative business structure. This is expected to be particularly attractive to professional partnerships. In order to ensure that the commercial choice between using a LLP or a partnership is not distorted, the LLP will in general be treated for tax purposes as a business carried on by partners in a partnership, rather than a body corporate.
To ensure that this new structure does not lead to tax loss when used as an alternative to existing business structures, legislation will be introduced to: define "investment LLP" and "property investment LLP", building on the current definition of "investment company". Remove exemptions for income and gains from property investment LLPs for pension funds, the pension business of life insurance companies and the tax exempt business of friendly societies where the income and gains are received in their capacity as a member of a property investment LLP. Remove interest relief for investments in investment LLPs so that individuals will not be able to claim tax relief for the interest paid on monies borrowed to invest in an investment LLP.
The Government will also bring forward any legislation necessary to ensure that LLPs are in general treated as partnerships for tax purposes. This will clarify the existing rules at section 118ZA ICTA 1988 and section 59A TCGA 1992 to ensure the rules fully achieve their purpose, and will confirm that the general tax treatment of LLPs carrying out a trade or profession is in accord with the guidance issued in Tax Bulletin in December 2000.
BACKGROUND NOTES
The legislative framework for LLPs is set out in the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000. The Act introduced tax legislation to ensure that in general LLPs would be taxed as partnerships rather than as corporate bodies. During the passage of that Act, in response to concerns about the potential for tax loss, a review was announced into the taxation of LLPs.
Following this review, the Government confirmed, in the Pre-Budget Report news release issued on 8 November 2000 (Inland Revenue 5), that in general LLPs would be taxed as partnerships and invited comments on proposed rules to prevent tax loss. In deciding to proceed with the rules announced today, the Government took into consideration the comments which have been received and for which it is grateful.
