Distribution of profit by a firm opting 44AD, to partners

601 views 5 replies
Suppose a partnership firm has gross turnover of 10 lakhs, and opts for presumptive taxation under section 44AD. it will declare a profit of 80 thousand and pay tax accordingly.
if however, the actual profit is 2 lakhs. the question is:
1) how much max profit can it distribute to its partners
2) if it distributes 2 lakh, will it be tax free in hands of partners.

IF you are showing deemd profit U/S 44AD in return of income then how can u show the declared profit at the same time ?

IT has to be either one of them deemed profit or declared profit.
Distribution of profit mention in your partnership deed.
@ Pradum: Not showing any declared profit. Deemed profit under 44 AD is 80K. and retention in bank balance is 2 lakh. ( which is nothing but the diff between deemed profit and actual profit)
@ Karan yes mentioned.

 

Just to avoid any confusion please consider below example. Bank balance is 1,76,000 and profit after tax is 56,000.

The question is

1) how much money t can be distributed to partners as profit 56,000 or 1,76,000.

2) If only 56,000 can be distributed what is the way to give the 1,20,000 back to partners.
