This chapter discusses the taxation of private investment funds, addressing questions such as whether there are any conflicting interests between investors and/or managers and/or others involved in the fund (including joint venture parties) in relation to any aspect of the tax affairs of the fund; whether any investor could be liable (whether on its own, jointly, or jointly and severally) for any taxation liability of the fund or any of its subsidiary vehicles; or the extent to which the tax treatment of the fund or any of its subsidiary vehicles is dependent on the tax status of investors. The chapter compares the taxation of limited partnerships and offshore companies in the UK and in the United States.
