LLP receiving share of profit from other partnership firm is eligible for exemption under Income Tax

Last updated: 10 February 2023
Quick Summary
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in Bangalore has ruled that a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is to be treated as a firm under the Income Tax Act. Consequently, an LLP receiving a share of profits from another partnership firm is eligible for exemption under Section 10(2A) of the Act. This decision clarifies that LLPs can indeed be partners in other firms and their share of profits is not taxable if the firm itself is assessed.
