05 October 2021

If we want to debit any penalties to partners capital account, so should we debit it equally to every partner or should we debit it in their profit sharing ratio

Why such penalties is debiting to partners capital instead of P&L A/c as such penalties is in nature of business expenditure

How about common "personal" expenses of partners paid from partnership business? like,

1) Expenses of all partners and their families going together on personal tour which also includes non-apportionable expenses like food local conveyance.

2) Home renovation and puja expenses paid for a home wherein all the partners are also members of the family staying together in that home.

do we debit such expenses to each partner Equally or in their Profit sharing ratio (i.e. when PSR is not equal for all partners)?

Also penalty/payment for "Traffic Challans" issued to employees (like office delivery person, sales person, field technicians, etc.) which are Not allowable as expenditure (currently booked under a common Drawings account), will be debited to partners equally or in profit sharing ratio?
