A flow-through entity (FTE) is a corporate legal entity where income "flows through" to investors (unitholders) in the form of regular cash distributions. Depending on the local tax regulations, this structure can avoid dividend tax and double taxation because only unitholders are taxed on the revenue. The two main types of FTEs are limited partnerships and income trusts.
