August 16, 2011 : Rs. 24 lacs

Remuneration paid to the partners is Rs. 60,000/- each. Interest on partner’s capital is Rs. 20,000/-. Please advise how I should calculate the tax liability of the partnership firm u/s 44AE.

15 July 2012 11*2*5000+8*5000=150000 is the Income as per Section 44AE provisions.
.
If you deduct Interest on Capital to partners of Rs 20000/- Resulting amount is Rs. 130000/ is Book Profit.
.
Do not fix remuneration in Advance. See the Remuneration Clause in the Deed to check whether it permits the following.

As per Section 40(b)(v) , 130000/- can be paid to partners as remuneration. .
