Receive intere on capital

Quick Summary

If you receive remuneration and interest on capital from a firm, you can deduct expenses directly incurred to generate this income. However, personal expenses, including depreciation on assets like your own car, are generally not deductible against this income for personal income tax purposes. While you can claim petrol and maintenance for business use of your car, depreciation on an individually owned asset used for business purposes is typically not allowed as a deduction against your personal income. The capital itself, once taxed within the firm, is usually tax-free when received by partners.

15 December 2024 The capital received from partnership firm after paying tax in Firms account is tax free in the hands of partners. Only the interest and salary received from the firm (claimed as deduction in firm's account) are taxable in the hands of partner's individual account.
On which asset depreciation is claimed in personal account? Whether partner is doing any business activity? Otherwise the depreciation would be debited to firm's account, if used by firm.
