Kentucky Transaction Considerations

  • Kentucky's Limited Liability Entity Tax (LLET) is a gross receipts/gross profits tax that applies to LLCs, S-corps, and partnerships, which can surprise buyers who assume pass-through treatment eliminates entity-level state tax
  • Kentucky bourbon and distillery acquisitions involve complex federal and state licensing (TTB permits, Kentucky ABC licenses) and significant excise tax considerations
  • Kentucky's coal industry decline has created opportunities for distressed asset acquisitions with complex environmental liability considerations

Kentucky Legal Framework for Healthcare M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable under common law if reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area. Kentucky courts apply a reasonableness test and may blue-pencil overbroad restrictions. Non-competes must protect a legitimate business interest. Consideration beyond continued employment may be required for existing employees.

Tax Considerations

Kentucky imposes a flat 5% corporate income tax. The state also levies a Limited Liability Entity Tax (LLET) on gross receipts or gross profits, with the first $175,000 exempt. The LLET functions as an alternative minimum tax for pass-through entities. Kentucky uses single-factor sales apportionment.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions are filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State. Annual reports are required. The Kentucky Department of Revenue requires notification of asset sales for tax clearance purposes.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Kentucky has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). The Kentucky Department of Revenue can assert successor liability against asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. A tax clearance should be obtained before closing.
