(B) The foreign limited liability partnership shall deliver with the completed application a certificate of existence (or a document of similar import) duly authenticated by the Secretary of State or other official having custody of limited liability partnership records in the state or country under which law it is organized. (C) If the foreign limited liability partnership renders "professional services" as defined in Section 33-19-103(7), the application required by subsection (A) must also contain a statement that: (1) all of its partners are licensed in one or more states to render the professional services which the foreign limited liability partnership practices and that one or more of its partners is licensed in South Carolina to render such professional services; and (2) the foreign limited liability partnership is in compliance with the requirements of Section 33-41-1130(A)(2); provided, however, that to the extent any such requirements are determined by reference to the number of licensed partners or individuals, such determination shall be made on the basis of the number of partners or individuals who render professional services in South Carolina. (D) The Secretary of State shall collect a fee of one hundred dollars when a foreign limited liability partnership delivers to him for filing an annual or renewal application for a certificate to transact business in this State. (E) By applying for a certificate of authority to transact business in this State, the foreign limited liability partnership agrees to be subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Revenue and the South Carolina courts to determine its South Carolina tax liability, including withholding and estimated taxes, together with any related interest and penalties, if any. Registering is not an admission of tax liability.
