Dear Experts,

Request to guide me to solve the issue.

My client a partnership firm reported loss for the FY 2014-15. Say Rs.50000/-

They have considered salary for partner which is more than the loss reproted i.e RS.1,00,000/-

While computing Income Tax for AY 2015-16 whether the salary to partner is to be treated as expense and report loss or should the partners salary excluded from expense and report a profit and remit the due tax.

Regards

Prakash - NP

As the partners salary is well within the limits of sec 40 (b) nothing need be disallowed while computing pgbp.

Profit without salary is 50000. Now according to 40b the limit will be 150000. Since actual salary is 1lacs that will be allowed and loss will be 50000. Salary must be authorised by partnership deed.

Rs. 100000 paid as remuneration to working partners and authorized by deed is in line with Section 40b of the Income Tax Act in case of loss.

salary to partner of Rs. 1,00,000/- is to be treated as expense and report loss. Salary to partner is governed by the limit spelled by section 40(2)(b) which states that in case of loss the maximum allowable salary to the WORKING partner of the partnership firm is Rs. 1,50,000/-

The above stated section 40(2)(b) is to be read as section 40(b) of the Income Tax Act , 1961

The question is whether the partner can claim only Rs 100000/- (when as per section 40(2)(b) Rs 150000 is allowable.)

I was having problems in filing return using java utility where the partners had claimed less that Rs 1.5 Lakh as salary in case of loss. there were problems in validation.
