27 November 2013Dear Sir,
Company XY is a parnership firm (2 working partners). Book profit of the firm for the year 2012-13 is 62,000/-. My question is that as per IT act what will be the allowable remuneraion between the two partners (not paid any remuneration) ? and what will be the allowable remuneraion between them if the firm paid Rs. 72,000/- as remuneration?
Regards,
Asim Jana

Deduction shall be the minimum of the following two:-
1) Amount paid/payable to working partners as authorized in partnership deed.
2) Maximum amount specified u/s 40(b)
|
On the first Rs. 3,00,000 of book profit or in case of loss |
90% of book profit or 1,50,000 whichever is more. |
|
On the balance book profit |
60% of the book profit. |
In your case, the book profit is 62,000/-
|
On the first Rs. 3,00,000 of book profit |
90% of book profit = 90%*62,000 = 55,800 or 1,50,000 whichever is more. |
|
On the balance book profit |
N.A. |
Hence, the maximum allowed remuneration will be 1,50,000/-.
.
If the firm has paid Rs. 72,000/- as remuneration to its partners, the same is allowed as deduction as it is the mimimum of the two limits.
