Benefits of Ontario Limited Partnerships

An LP is not considered a separate taxable entity under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Therefore, it is not required to pay income taxes or file a corporate income tax return. Instead, all profits received by an LP are passed through the LP. Profits and losses are then allocated among the partners of the LP at the end of the fiscal year, in accordance with the terms of the LP agreement governing the LP’s business and affairs.

Partners who are Canadian residents are required to include their part of the profit received through the LP in their personal/corporate tax returns. Partners who are not Canadian residents are not subject to withholding tax on the profits they receive from the LP.

LPs have no audit requirements.
