The tax aspect is the primary motivation for converting a corporation into an LLP.
Limited Liability Partnerships are not subject to the surcharge and are taxed similarly to regular partnership firms.
The Income-tax Act of 1961 currently mandates that businesses pay both the dividend distribution tax (DDT) and the minimum alternate tax (MAT).
When property is transferred from a company to a limited liability partnership, neither capital gains tax nor dividend distribution tax are due by the limited liability partnership.
There is no cap on the maximum number of partners that can be in a limited liability partnership.
