(a)assets held by the limited liability partnership are treated for the purposes of tax in respect of chargeable gains as held by its members as partners, and
(b)any dealings by the limited liability partnership are treated for those purposes as dealings by its members in partnership (and not by the limited liability partnership as such);
and tax in respect of chargeable gains accruing to the members of the limited liability partnership on the disposal of any of its assets shall be assessed and charged on them separately.
(2)For all purposes, except as otherwise provided, in the enactments relating to tax in respect of chargeable gains—
(a)references to a partnership include a limited liability partnership in relation to which subsection (1) above applies,
(b)references to members of a partnership include members of such a limited liability partnership,
(c)references to a company do not include such a limited liability partnership, and
(d)references to members of a company do not include members of such a limited liability partnership.
(3)Subsection (1) above continues to apply in relation to a limited liability partnership which no longer carries on any trade or business with a view to profit—
(a)if the cessation is only temporary, or
(b)during a period of winding up following a permanent cessation, provided—
(i)the winding up is not for reasons connected in whole or in part with the avoidance of tax, and
(ii)the period of winding up is not unreasonably prolonged,
but subject to subsection (4) below.
(4)Subsection (1) above ceases to apply in relation to a limited liability partnership—
(a)on the appointment of a liquidator or (if earlier) the making of a winding-up order by the court, or
(b)on the occurrence of any event under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom corresponding to an event specified in paragraph (a) above.
(5)Where subsection (1) above ceases to apply in relation to a limited liability partnership with the effect that tax is assessed and charged—
(a)on the limited liability partnership (as a company) in respect of chargeable gains accruing on the disposal of any of its assets, and
(b)on the members in respect of chargeable gains accruing on the disposal of any of their capital interests in the limited liability partnership,
it shall be assessed and charged on the limited liability partnership as if subsection (1) above had never applied in relation to it.
