Sword Services Ltd and others v Revenue and Customs Commissioners What was this case about? The taxpayers brought a judicial review to contest payment notices (PPNs) issued by HMRC to members (ie partners) of several film production partnerships, seeking to have those notices quashed. PPNs are a form of accelerated payment notice (APN) given to partnership members. As with an APN, a PPN requires tax to be paid upfront while HMRC’s enquiries into the relevant arrangements are concluded. For more on the accelerated payments regime, see Practice Note: Accelerated payment notices. The taxpayers argued that the PPNs were unlawful on two bases: They were issued to members of a limited liability partnership (LLP), but schedule 32 to the FA 2014 (the PPN legislation) does not, in the taxpayers’ view, authorise HMRC to issue PPNs to LLP members; it applies only to other forms of partnership, such as general or limited partnerships. Condition A, one of the statutory requirements that must be met before...

A limited liability partnership (LLP) A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a corporate body established under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 (LLPA 2000). Most rules governing LLPs derive from modified company law rather than partnership law (see Practice Note: The nature of a limited liability partnership and its legal framework). The requirements for incorporation are prescribed in the LLPA 2000 and the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), as adapted by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2009, SI 2009/1804 (LLP (Application of CA 2006) Regs 2009). The method for forming an LLP closely mirrors the procedure for company incorporation...

1. What is the applicable legislation? The primary statute applicable to foreign direct investment (FDI) is the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (A.D. 1999) (the FBA). The FBA regulates business activities undertaken by foreign individuals or entities in Thailand. Under the FBA, a “foreigner” is defined as: an individual who does not hold Thai nationality a juristic person not registered in Thailand a juristic person incorporated in Thailand where foreign ownership represents one-half or more of the total shares and/or registered capital a limited partnership or ordinary registered partnership whose managing shareholder or manager is a foreign national The FBA identifies business activities that foreign persons or entities are restricted from, or barred from, conducting in Thailand. These activities are grouped into three lists under the FBA: List 1: businesses that foreign nationals are completely prohibited from undertaking List 2: businesses that foreign nationals may carry on only with a foreign business licence from the...

STOP PRESS: From 24 February 2025, the core provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023) now apply. Any procurement launched on or after that date must proceed under PA 2023, while procedures started under the earlier instruments—the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015), the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, the Concession Regulations 2016, and the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011—must continue to be run and administered in line with those rules. See Practice Note: Introduction to the Procurement Act 2023—PA 2023. PCR 2015 as assimilated law PCR 2015 are EU-derived domestic legislation and therefore constitute assimilated law under sections 2 and 6 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. For practical guidance on the standing and interpretation of assimilated law, see Practice Note: Assimilated law.

In partnership with Alexander Stewart of Hogarth Chambers If a limited liability partnership (LLP) becomes insolvent, the preferred view is that members’ entitlements to amounts due under their capital and current accounts are subordinated to the claims of external unsecured creditors. That said, it can be contended that members’ claims for advances or loans made to the LLP—despite being entered in their current accounts—stand on the same footing as those of external unsecured creditors. LLPs are established by the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 (LLPA 2000). In several respects, including insolvency, LLPs are akin to limited companies rather than partnerships; see: Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and insolvency—overview. Where an LLP is insolvent, it is terminated by voluntary or compulsory winding-up. The winding-up regime under the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986) operates alongside LLPA 2000, s 14 and the Limited Liability Partnerships Regulations 2001 (LLPR 2001), SI 2001/1090, reg 5 and LLPR 2001, SI 2001/1090, Sch 3 (as amended)...

Through these Regulations, the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986) and the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 (IR 2016), SI 2016/1024 are applied to LLPs accordingly...
