Explanation:
Master limited partnership (MLP) is a publicly traded limited partnership.
MLP is a hybrid of a partnership and a corporation.
There are 2 types of partners in a MLP :
1. General partner : The general partner is engaged in the day to day running of the business. She has an unlimited liability.
2. Limited partner : the limited partner only contributes capital to the business. They are also known as silent partners
MLPs are treated as a limited partnership for tax purposes. A limited partnership has a pass through tax structure. To qualify for this pass through tax structure, MLPs must receive 90% or more of their income from interest, dividends, real estate rents, gain from the sale or disposition of real property, income and gain from commodities or commodity futures, and income and gain from mineral or natural resources activities.
