Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies what remuneration is taxed in a partner's hands. The consensus is that admissible remuneration is taxable, even if it exceeds the deduction limits for the firm under Section 40(b).

21 October 2024 The remuneration debited to P&L is taxable in the partner's hands, regardless of whether it's fully admissible as a deduction for the firm. If the remuneration paid to partners exceeds the permissible limits under Section 40(b) of the Income Tax Act, the excess amount is not allowed as a deduction for the firm but is still taxable in the hands of the partner.

21 October 2024 That is because of cap in ratio of remuneration to profit margin. It is not double taxed, but capped to derive (allowable) remuneration.
