It is Rightly said by Sorabh. It all depends on the nature of amount.
Few possibilities are
1) Proporationate remuneration
2) Proportionate share of Goodwill
3) Proportionate share in Profit
as i belive that the Remunaration & Profit both will come under the head business & profession. However the share of porifts will be exempt under the section 10 & Remunration will be taxable.
about the amount of share in the goodwill. I think it is exmpt as the sale of goodwill of business is taxable & not the same of goodwill of the Profession.
Correct me if i am wrong. will be glad to learn new things.
Thanks,
Sunil
