23 April 2016 HUF and partnership firm differ in their status from income tax point of view. while partnership firm is assessed to tax at a flat rate of 30% of book profit left after payment of interest on capital and remuneration to partners, HUF is assessed to tax as per normal income tax slabs applicable to individuals and HUFs. No income tax exemption limit is applicable to a partnership firm while HUF enjoys a income tax exemption limit of Rs. 250000/-. It also enjoys benefit of section 80C, 80D etc which are not available to a partnership firm. HUF can also get deduction of remuneration paid to karta for managing business out of business profits.
