Tax changes force private equity firm to re-evaluate partnership status

UK's HM Revenue & Customs has said that it wants to clamp down on firms that use LLPs to reduce their tax bills

UK private equity firm Arle Capital has challenged the traditional notion of how buyout firms should be structured by changing its limited liability partnership in response to changes to British taxation rules.

All but two members of Arle Capital LLP resigned their positions from the LLP last week and have now become salaried members of staff, according to a spokeswoman for the firm.
