Prof fee's of doctors vs remuneration

According to me, the services will not be a remuneration paid by a firm.

The firm is only actinga as a conduit for collecting the fees from the patients and handing it to the Doctors (this is the normal practice followed by hospitals and clinics)

regards

thanks,

in which case, i suppose that there is no need to mention it in the firm's partnership deed as given in Sec 40b (iii). Is my understanding right?

regards

I feel that this arrangement should be clearly mentioned in the deed. Also, the amount collected by the hospital (firm) on behalf of the partner will form the professional receipts of the Doctor partner and not that of the firm. Care should be taken that these amounts are always paid by cheque and taxed in partner's returns, to avoid future problems.
