CRA’s new position on US LLLPs and LLPs

26 Jul 2016

On May 26, 2016, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced that it will consider Florida and Delaware limited liability limited partnerships (LLLPs) and US limited liability partnerships (LLPs) to be corporations for Canadian tax purposes.

The CRA’s new administrative position may make investments into US LLLPs or LLPs by Canadians unattractive, and may require additional planning for those who currently hold an interest in a US LLLP or LLP.
