Salary or remuneration to partners is only payable if allowed by the partnership agreement, and there is no statutory requirement to pay salary just because there is profit or high capital contribution.
Profit is distributed among partners based on the agreement, and capital contribution can influence profit sharing but does not mandate a salary.
If there is no mention of salary in the partnership deed, none need be paid, regardless of profits or capital put in.
Tax law only limits deductions for partner salary if paid, but does not require payment.
