Conversion of LLP into Private Limited Company

 

A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a corporate business form blending attributes of both company and traditional partnership firms. It offers the benefits of limited liability to the partners. The concept of LLP was emerged and took place in statutes in 2008 while the idea of a private company is much older.

LLPs offer several benefits like separate legal entity, limited liability of partners, perpetual succession, lesser compliance cost than companies etc. However, despite several benefits of LLP, there are some drawbacks, like:

• LLPs incline income tax at the rate of 30%, while companies attract income tax at 22%. Therefore, it is the most significant advantage of a company over LLP.
• LLPs do not have the idea of shareholding. So, venture capitalists and private equity investors who actively want to participate in business management do not prefer to invest in the LLP.
• Bankers prefer to lend companies than to LLPs. So, companies have better borrowing capacity.

In India, private companies are among the foremost common business structures. They provide higher chances of growth and development and are best for raising equity capital, which isn’t possible in LLP. LLP structure isn’t suitable if the owners are necessary for speculators or private equity investors to take a position in their company. They might prefer to infuse in a private limited company and not a partnership or LLP. The second cause for conversion is that the FDI, just in the case of a personal Ltd., doesn’t need any approval; it is often done directly, unlike in an LLP. Usually, if the promoters or owners of the corporate are NRI’s or a foreigner incorporating a personal Ltd. may be a recommended choice over an LLP. Hence conversion is mandatory if the requirements mentioned above need to be fulfilled.

E-commerce firms may get 6-month tax breather
The provision of tax collected at source (TCS) imposed on suppliers selling products on e-commerce websites like Flipkart and Amazon in the goods and services tax (GST) regime is likely to be deferred by six months. The recommendation by the law review committee may come as a breather for e-commerce players, which have been strongly opposing the additional levy. The TCS of 1 per cent to be charged collectively by the Centre and states was kept in abeyance till April 1, 2018, by the GST Council in October along with the reverse charge mechanism and the e-way bill. However, in light of revenue leakage concerns, the e-way bill to track the movement of inter-state supply of goods will be implemented from February 1, while reverse charge mechanism on composition dealers may be implemented any time now. “The provision pertaining to TDS and TCS can be kept in abeyance for at least six more months, is the view taken by the law committee,” said an official. A final decision on deferring the TCS further will be taken by the GST Council in its next meeting.

Single GST Registration for Airlines, Banks on the Anvil
The government is considering a nationwide single GST registration process for the aviation, banking and insurance sectors, people in the know of the matter said.
A single registration will potentially solve a majority of the compliance problems that services companies have been complaining about. They now have to register themselves and file GST returns in every state or union territory (UT) they operate in.
But the change will require the approval of the GST Council, the top decision-making body under the new tax system, where states are expected to oppose it fearing revenue loss as they have done when the proposal had come up before, tax experts said.
While goods-producing industries were used to making multiple state-wise returns for value-added tax under the previous regime, this is a new requirement for services companies, which complain it as a cumbersome process involving lot of paperwork and manpower.
