Salary of a partner of a firm taxable as business income:
As per section 28[v] any interest, salary, bonus, commission or remuneration, by whatever name called, due to, or received by, a partner of a firm from such firm is taxable as business income of such partner.
Further the above sum paid to the partner for interest, salary, bonus, Commission or remuneration is allowed as deduction to the firm under section 40(b).
Partners share of profit always exempt under section 10(2A).
CBDT vide circular 8/2014 clarify that the Partner’s share of profit in the partnership firm shall be always exempt under section 10(2A).
The clarification has been issued to remove the doubt that under no circumstances share of profit be taxed in the hands of its partner even though the partnership firm paying no tax on its profit on account of claiming deduction or exemption.
