s.
Partners report their share of profits as partnership income, and
Partners pay taxes at the income tax rate for individuals.
Explanation:
The partnership business is not taxed separately and the profits / losses of partnership business is distributed (with or without actual distribution) among the partners in the respective ratios as per the terms of partnership agreement. Hence, the liability to pay income tax on partnership profits pass on to the partners of the firm and the partners need to pay taxes as per their individual income tax rate. The partnership firm only needs to file its income tax return informing the amount of profits / losses distributed among the partners without having to pay any taxes on the reported profits.
