A Limited Liability Partnership (also known as a LLP) is a business structure that is registered with Securities Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). The business is owned and operated by several individuals and the partners share the profits and / or losses depending on their agreement. The Designated Partners are involved in day to day operations of the LLP but unlike a regular partnership firm, the liability of partners in LLP is limited. LLP is issued a National Tax Number (NTN) and taxes are paid by the LLP on its earnings. The central document that governs a Limited Liability Partnership is the partnership deed (or partnership agreement) which is made on a non-judicial legal stamp paper that clarifies the relationship between the partners, their roles and responsibilities, and their shares in the profits or losses of the partnership. Under the law, a limited liability partnership is a treated as a body corporate or a company (see definitions in Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2017 and Section 80(2)(ii) of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001). A limited liability partnership is different from regular partnership firms, sole proprietorships and limited companies. Not sure about which business structure to choose? Read our Guide.
