Review of limited partnership law - call for evidence

Closed
17 March 2017

Summary

We're seeking views and evidence on the limited partnerships framework.

Consultation description

We’re aware of concerns that some limited partnerships registered in Scotland are being used for criminal activity. There has been a recent increase in the number of limited partnerships registered in Scotland in comparison to those registered in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We’re seeking views and evidence on:

  • the possible reasons why registration of limited partnerships in Scotland has increased
  • the value limited partnerships bring to the UK economy as a whole
  • how the wider limited partnership framework operates and whether any changes need to be made

We welcome responses from all interested parties.

This consultation will run until 17 March 2017.
