Comprehending Partnership Companies and Their Tax Responsibilities

A partnership firm is an organization created by two or more people who work together to run a business with the goal of making money. A partnership deed typically governs the partners' reciprocal rights and obligations. Partnership businesses may or may not be registered. Regardless of the registration status, both are liable to file income tax returns if the firm’s income exceeds the basic exemption limit or if it falls under any mandatory filing criteria.

Filing Partnership Tax Returns in India

The annual procedure of providing the Income Tax Department with the partnership firm's income information is known as "partnership tax return filing." A partnership firm is taxed separately from its partners since it is regarded as a distinct legal entity for tax purposes. The firm is required to file its income tax return under Form ITR-5, which includes details of business income, deductions, tax payable, and other relevant financial information. Whether the firm is operational or not, filing returns is mandatory if it comes under the purview of the Income Tax Act.

Income Tax Return Filing for Partnership Firm

Filing an Income Tax Return for a Partnership Firm is a legal necessity, even if the firm has zero income or has incurred losses. The process involves:

• Preparing books of accounts

• Applying eligible deductions
• Filing the appropriate ITR form

Partnership Firm Income Tax Slabs / LLP for AY 2023-24

For the Assessment Year 2023-24, the income tax rate applicable to partnership firms, including Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), is as follows:

• There is a flat tax rate of 30% on the company's total revenue; if the total revenue surpasses ?1 crore, there is also a 12% surcharge.
• The tax plus the surcharge is subject to a 4% Health and Education Cess.
• In contrast to separate taxing slabs, these tax rates are applied consistently regardless of income level.

Hence, it is crucial to calculate and file the returns accurately.
