My client is currently a Ltd Company and he's teamed up with a sole trader on a long term contract. I was expecting them to form a new Ltd Company but I've now been informed they are discussing a partnership, as it will be better from a tax point of view.
One thing I have deliberately avoided so far is doing partnership accounts as I haven't a clue whats involved.
So two questions, are partnerships complicated to do or is it something I could easily get my head round from my knowledge of doing SMALL Ltd Co accounts and sole traders?
I'm a bit sceptical on the tax side, would a partnership bring any tax advantages over a Ltd Company?
