TTM13010 - Partnerships: Outline

Elections into Tonnage Tax

As set out in TTM02001, a tonnage tax election has to be made on a group-wide basis. All qualifying activities carried on by a company, or group of companies, must be brought within the tonnage tax ring-fence - including any carried on through a corporate partnership.

If a company or group only carries on qualifying activities through a corporate partnership (or, indeed, through more than one corporate partnership), it may still elect into Tonnage Tax.
