This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for interest earned from a firm. The consensus is that interest income from a partnership should not be credited to the Profit & Loss account of the main business. Instead, it should be treated as income under a 'special business' category and can be directly included in income tax computations. Share of profit from a partnership is also noted as exempted under Section 10(2) of the Income Tax Act.
