UNDERSTANDING YOUR BUSINESS

Support that starts with understanding.

A partnership generally reports the financial results of the business through a Partnership Tax Return.

The partnership itself generally does not pay income tax in the same way as a company.

Instead, the partners report their respective shares of the partnership result in their own tax returns.

Why Clear Records Matter

When several people are involved in the same business, clear accounting information becomes even more important.

USEFUL ANSWERS

Common Questions

Does the partnership itself normally pay income tax?

Generally, the partnership reports its results and the individual partners report their respective shares.

Can you prepare the partners' individual tax returns too?

Where appropriate, yes. This can make the overall tax process more coordinated.
