There are 2 designated partners in LLP. Both withdraw the salary of Rs.17000 each p.m along with other perks. Now since the LLP is a Body Corporate but the tax provisions are similar to partnership. The LLP is paying the Rent of a residence to both its partners, apart from the above salary. How this shall be treated in the Books of accounts of LLP. Will it be allowed as a revenue expenditure and taxed in the hands of respective partner or treated as a taxable expenditure?
