Corporate partners & associated companies

Corporate partners & associated companies

Didn't find your answer?

A partnership is made up of a mixture of individuals and limited companies.  For associated company purposes, it seems to me that the corporate partners will be treated as carrying on a business, but what if in a particular year, one of the companies does not actually receive any share of the profits?  Would it still count as an associated company for those which did have profit shares?

Why?

Why would the corporate partners in a partnership be treated as associated with each other in the first place.  Are they under common control?

While the partnership continues, the corporate partner's business (being a member of the partnership) continues.

But companies aren't associated unless one of them controls the other or both are under common control.

Thanks for that. 

Thanks for that.  The companies are associated as they are controlled by the partners, so yes they should all count in that case.
