30 September 2023 A private limited company is a partner in a firm. The firm pays taxes on its profit and pays the company its share of profit. The company wants to pay its directors this share of profit on which the firm has already paid income tax. Is it taxable in the hands of the directors. Can it be given without attracting tax in the hands of the directors. Can the experts throw some light on this issue please.

30 September 2023 It's only tax free income for the company.
When it's paid to the directors it's taxable income in the hands of the directors.
