Partnership
A partnership is relatively inexpensive to set up and operate. The partners share income, losses and control of the business.
In a partnership business structure:
- income, losses and control of the business are shared among the partners
- the partnership has its own TFN and must lodge an annual partnership return showing all income and deductions of the business
- the partnership doesn’t pay income tax on the profit it earns – each partner reports their share of the partnership income in their own tax return
- each partner pays tax on their share of the partnership profit at the individual tax rate and may be eligible for the small business tax offset
- the partnership must apply for an ABN and use it for all business dealings
- the partnership must be registered for GST if its annual GST turnover is $75,000 or more.
