Limited partnership or LP meaning

Partnerships are often used as vehicles for holding UK real estate The forms of partnership commonly adopted in practice are limited partnerships (LPs) and limited liability partnerships (LLPs). This Practice Note considers how, in a property context, a UK LP is treated for direct taxes—corporation tax, income tax and capital gains tax (CGT)—together with the annual tax on enveloped dwellings (ATED). For these purposes, unless stated otherwise, CGT covers both capital gains tax and corporation tax on chargeable gains The direct tax position of an LLP in a property context is addressed in Practice Note: Tax treatment of a UK limited liability partnership.

Rather, it is a commercial arrangement in which two or more parties agree to combine resources to deliver a defined project or other business activity. The term spans a wide range of scenarios, from structural solutions that establish or shift economic control of a legal entity—such as joint venture companies or partnerships—to non‑structural approaches, including contractual joint projects and informal, undocumented collaborations.

Commonly used structures include: Corporate joint venture—creating a separate limited company in which each party holds shares Joint venture partnership—forming a new partnership vehicle Contractual or commercial joint venture—defining all aspects of the joint venture relationship within a contract ...
