FAQ
This means that a partner wishing to leave the partnership must first offer their interest to the other members in the company before offering it to an outside party. If all of the members refuse this offer, the partner is then allowed to transfer interest to anyone they choose.
In general, as noted earlier, the transferee of a partnership interest must withhold a tax equal to 10% of the amount realized by the transferor on any transfer of a partnership interest unless an applicable exception applies (as discussed below).
Partnerships are generally guided by a partnership agreement, which may allow or restrict transfers of partnership interest. Partners must follow the terms of the agreement. If the agreement allows it, a partner can transfer ownership stakes in terms of profits, voting rights and responsibilities.
When one partner wants to leave the partnership, the partnership generally dissolves. Dissolution means the partners must fulfill any remaining business obligations, pay off all debts, and divide any assets and profits among themselves. Your partners may not want to dissolve the partnership due to your departure.
A sale of a partnership interest occurs when one partner sells their ownership interest to another person or entity. The partnership is generally not involved in the transaction. However, the buyer and seller will notify the partnership of the transaction.
Transfer of limited partnership interest is allowed as long as the general partner consents to the arrangement and it is done in concert with the established partnership agreement. A common example of a limited partnership is the family limited partnership, which is often created to administer a family business.
Under the purchase scenario, one or more remaining partners may buy out the terminating partner's interest for fair market value (FMV) plus any relief of debt realized by the partner.
Buyouts over time agree that the purchasing partner will pay the bought out partner a predetermined amount over time until their ownership has been fully purchased. Similarly, an earn-out pays the partner out over time but requires the partner to stay with the company during a defined transition period.
The sale of a partnership interest is generally treated as a sale of a capital asset, resulting in capital gain or loss for the selling partner.
The partnership agreement spells out who owns what portion of the firm, how profits and losses will be split, and the assignment of roles and duties. The partnership agreement will also typically spell how out disputes are to be adjudicated and what happens if one of the partners dies prematurely.
