(v) Federal Income Tax advantages and disadvantages
The income of the partnership is divided between the partners according to an agreement between them in their profit sharing ratio after deducting partner’s salary and interest on capital. There is pass through taxation, which means that there is no income tax on partnership firm but income tax is charged in an individual capacity on total share including salary and interest received by each partner.

There is pass through taxation. It means there is no income tax on partnership firm but income tax is charged in an individual capacity on total share including salary and interest received by each partner. The disadvantage associated with limited liability partnership is that LLC owners must pay taxes on their distributive share of the profit of the company, even if they have not received a distribution of those profits and sometimes business grows to large and share received by partner is less and if his other income is higher, partnership share received is also taxed at higher rates of federal income
LLCs must typically pay more fees to file as LLCs compared to some other business entities or sole proprietorships. Additionally, many states require yearly renewal fees. However, these fees are usually less than what some other corporations have to pay. Because of the protections afforded to LLCs, some types of businesses are ineligible to file as LLCs. Banks, insurance companies, and medical service companies are examples of businesses that can not be a LLC. Another big disadvantage is taxes. Although LLC’s allow owners to avoid federal taxes, you may actually end up paying more than it would with a different corporation, depending upon the nature of the business. Working with an accountant and/or tax lawyer is a really good idea when planning your business and forming your LLC but can also be quite expensive. The LLC business form is a relatively new concept. As a result, not a lot of cases have been decided surrounding LLCs. Case law is important because of predictability. If you know a court has ruled a certain way, you can act in a specific way to protect yourself. But if not many laws have been established yet, there is a certain vulnerability with your corporations that could expose you to greater
The disadvantages for a limited partner are no different. Let’s begin with illiquidity, because it could take months to sell the limited partnership shares. Second, while real estate tends to maintain or increase in value, there are also times of declining property values as well. Third disadvantage is management problems. The decisions made by management can affect the investors who are blissfully unaware of the happenings because they are not involved; meaning an limited partner, while not involved in the paperwork, still needs to be aware of the actions taking place. Another disadvantage is lack of tax shelter, while the limited partnership provides a tax advantage with regards to business tax, the income still is included as personal income. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the ability to use losses on real estate investments from income dividends and interest, basically dissolving the tax shelter aspect of real
Partnership – “A legal entity formed by two or more co-owners to operate a business for profit.” (Longenecker, Petty, Palich, Hoy, Pg. 202) In a partnership, the advantage for the owners is the capability to reduce the workload and the financial burden, especially if each partner has management skills that enhances the business. The disadvantages of a partnership such as personal conflicts and leadership expectations, therefore this organizational form should only be chosen once all other options have been considered.
However, the concerns of partnering with a firm can lead to exploitation or copy/take away proprietary, competency, technique or technology, which will harm future long term gains.
This contrast to normal criminal law which generally only holds offenders liable for their own actions but under the common law of Joint Enterprise, a person may be found guilty for another person’s crime. This therefore means that the sentencing can be seen as unjust and can cause issues such as someone serving a longer prison sentence than they should. This dispute is particularly raised in the third type of Joint Enterprise where the principle commits a second criminal act, while participating in the first criminal act. The law states that because the secondary party was involved in crime A and anticipated crime B, they are also convicted under the same sentencing as the principle regardless of them not participating in the second crime. This creates many arguments in court as the question of whether the second party should receive the same sentence as the principle if they themselves did not perform

The advantages in a ltd company are that you have limited liability and will only lose what you invested. You can raise the company’s capital since it can have up to 50 shareholders. However, growth might be limited to the small amount of shareholders and you need the agreement of other shareholders to sell your shares.
A limited liability company combines the attributes of a partnership with the limits on liability of a corporation. The profits and losses of the company still pass to the owners as in a partnership, but the losses can only offset other income up to the amount the individual invested. Formal action is not required to form a LLC, but articles of organization are filed with the proper state department. Management is still controlled by the owners.
One awesome advantage that comes with an LLC, other than the protection from legal liabilities like stated above, is the ease of getting it. They also take much less paperwork and effort to get started so they are fairly cheap. Another nice plus that comes with an LLC is that you have fewer restrictions on how you can divvy out your money(profit sharing). In my opinion corporations actually have two of the best advantages out of all the available options. Being a corporation allows you to sell stock, so you

Before a partnership formation is imminent, the business needs to decide on which type of partnership to form. There are three types of partnerships: (1) general partnerships, (2) limited partnerships, and (3) joint ventures. All three partnerships contain two or more owners, but all partners assume equal division of ownership, liabilities, and profits in a general partnership. Limited partnerships offer limited liability protection based on each partner’s contribution percentage. Joint ventures are classified as general partnerships with limited existence periods. Once a type of partnership has been determined, the business fulfills a series of requirements before the partnership can be successfully formed. The first step is to register
