CRA effectively gives a checklist for determining whether LLLP legislation provides for a corporation

A secondary assessing position of a TSO was that a Delaware LLLP, which had been wound-up, had been a corporation for ITA purposes. In the course of confirming this characterization, the Directorate provided a detailed listing of the relevant provisions of the Delaware legislation (the DRULPA), as well as summarizing the (unexceptional) features of the partnership agreement. This listing might be a useful checklist when confirming the portability of the CRA position respecting Delaware and Florida LLPs and LLLPs to other jurisdictions.

The Directorate went on to note that since it had recently determined to provide grandfathering relief re the application of its position to existing LLPs and LLLPs (see 2017 IFA Roundtable, Q.3), it recommended against treating this LLLP as having been a corporation.
