The agency emphasized that the current legislation allows participants of LLCs not to be personally liable for the company's obligations, limiting the risk of losses only to the amount of their contributions to the authorized capital.

In this regard, the proposed changes to the legislation, which provided for personal liability of LLC founders for tax debts, caused significant public resonance and criticism from the business community.
