LLPs are taxed at a flat rate of 30% on their income. A 12% surcharge applies if income exceeds ₹1 crore, plus a 4% Health and Education Cess on the total tax.
No, LLPs do not distribute dividends. Income is directly allocated to partners, and there is no tax on this income distribution.
Private Limited Companies can be taxed at 15% under the new tax regime (Section 115BAA) or 22% under the normal tax regime, depending on eligibility and chosen exemptions.

LLPs are generally more tax-efficient for small businesses due to their simpler structure and absence of dividend distribution tax, especially if scaling plans are limited.
Private Limited Companies are more suitable for businesses aiming for growth, external investment, and scalability, owing to their lower corporate tax rates and established framework for funding.
