LLPs promise liquid gold

Article Abstract:

Property investors in the UK hope to use the government's planned new limited liability partnerships (LLPs) as an instrument for investment. Talks are being held to try to persuade the government to confirm that LLPs will be tax transparent when used to invest in property. The draft bill currently being considered by the House of Lords proposes no limit on the number of partners allowed by the new structure, and there is no restriction on the partners' management powers. There is widespread agreement among property consultants, investors and lawyers that LLPs offer significant opportunities.

Railroaded?

Article Abstract:

Some UK industrial developers fear local authorities may insist they build new sites near rail links in order to make distributors use rail freight to move some of their goods. Some 6% of goods are sent by rail and industry. Experts predict a number of companies will increase the amount they use rail freight due to planning restrictions and environmental policies. The UK Labour government had requested local authorities should promote the use the rail to distribution firms but the policy was not made compulsory.
