Limited Liability – the k.s. has two types of members. One type of member is limited partner called komanditista and its personal assets are insulated from any debts, liabilities or bankruptcy of the company.

The k.s. can have several limited or general partners and they can agree the size of the partnership interest they each hold, which in turn determines the size of the profits and loss or voting percentage they each hold. The unlimited liability of the general partners can be eliminated by inserting a limited company as intermediary partnership holder before the ultimate owner.

The part of profits or loss assigned to the general partners is passed on to the general partners and filled on tax returns of general partners and taxed according to the tax rates of general partners. The general partners can be other legal entities.
