The structure of an MLP resembles a partnership, but offers investment units like common stock and to be traded on a common platform such as a stock market. Like a limited partnership, the MLP has a general partner and limited partners. The general partner is mostly the sponsor corporation (e.g. Kinder Morgan Inc. owns the general partner of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LLP) or one of its operating subsidiaries and is responsible for the operations of the company and, in most cases, is liable for partnership debt. The individual unit holders are retail investors, who contribute capital and receive up to 90% of handy cash flow as distributions in a stated year but have no day-to-day management role in the partnership. In the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Revenue act of 1986, the current structure of the MLP was defined and eligibility of an enterprise to issue MLP was stated- any business with a durable in flow of money was allowed (dealing with common resources principally)

In an MLP, the tax accountability of the partnership is passed on to the unit holders. The investor would receive annually a notification of his or her shares and profits.
