Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how profits are distributed in a partnership when partners haven't contributed capital according to their shareholding. It explains that the partnership deed or mutual agreement dictates the order of payments, which typically prioritises capital withdrawal based on shareholding, followed by interest on loans, and then remuneration or salary. The general principle is that capital contributions are addressed first, but specific clauses in the partnership agreement can alter this order.
