The Standing Committee on Finance (SCF), which thoroughly examined The Companies Bill, 2009 has recommended that as the exemption regime applicable for different forms of companies like small companies, One Person Company (OPCs) and private companies
The concept of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India is viewed as an alternative corporate business vehicle that provides the benefits of limited liability and also allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal structure as a partnership based on a mutually arrived agreement. The revised Bill received the assent of the President of India on 7, January 2009.
The government may soon allow foreigners to set up limited liability partnerships in sectors where 100% foreign investment is allowed, taking a decisive step after much flip-flop over funding guidelines for this form of business organisation, favoured globally for its flexibility.
The ICAI has argued that the bulk of the management accounting work is done by the chartered accountants, so addition of the word ‘Management’ to the Institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India, or ICWAI, is misleading and should not be allowed.
The Finance Bill 2010, introduced provisions for conversion of private companies / unlisted companies into LLP along with conditions for tax neutrality of such conversions. One of the conditions for tax neutrality is that the total sales, turnover or gross receipts in any of the three years preceding the conversion does not exceed INR 6 mn. Consequential amendments were also made to various sections in the Income-tax Act 1961 (ITA).
Foreign direct investment in new form of business, limited liability partnerships (LLPs), could be allowed without a cap, a highly placed source said.”The officials have reached a consensus for 100 per cent FDI in LLPs,” he said. Officials in the ministries of industry, finance and corporate affairs have been in regular consultations on the issue of allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) since the LLP form of business was notified in 2009.
The Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009 provided for the taxation of LLPs in the Income-tax Act on the same lines as applicable to partnership firms. Presently LLP is subject to tax @ 30%. There will be no change in this tax rate.. Section 47 – Transactions not regarded as transfer. Section 56 and section 57 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 allow conversion of a private company or an unlisted public company (hereafter referred as company) into an LLP.
The ICAI is pleased to note that its suggestion relating to exemption of capital gains in the hands of shareholders consequent to conversion of a company into a LLP, has found favour with the Government. It is also heartening to note that one out of the three amendments made while passing the Finance Bill, 2010 was in accordance with the suggestion given in the Post-Budget Memorandum, 2010 submitted by the Direct Taxes Committee of ICAI. One of the other two proposals is an extension of relief granted unilaterally by the Honourable Finance Minister.

This financial year (closed on 31/03/2010), the due date falls on 30/05/2010.
