What is an Electing Family Limited Liability Entity?
An Electing Family Limited Liability Entity is defined in Section 40-14A-1, Code of Alabama 1975. Upon meeting certain requirements, an Electing Family Limited Liability Entity would qualify for a maximum Alabama Business Privilege Tax of $500. To qualify the LLE must be more than 80 percent owned, directly or indirectly, by an individual and the members of the individual’s family (See 40-14A-1(h)(4), Code of Alabama 1975, for attribution rules to follow to identify an individual family members for indirect ownership). The LLE must have more than 90% of its gross receipts from interest, dividends, rents, and certain other passive-time income. At least 90% of the adjusted basis of the assets owned by the LLE must consist of cash, stock, securities, timber, annuities, and certain other “non-business” type assets. Again, see Section 40-14A-1, Code of Alabama 1975, for a more thorough explanation of the Electing Family Limited Liability Entity ownership, income, and asset requirements. A q
