The Characteristic of a general partnership

Answer to Problem 1QC
Solution:
The correct answer is Option C.
Explanation of Solution
• A partnership does not limit liability of the partners to their share of the partnership. Partners are responsible in their individual capacity if the partnership firm fails to fulfill any liabilities or obligations that the partnership is responsible for.
• Partnerships usually are formed for a specific duration and may cease to exist in the event of death, retirement or insolvency of one or more partners.
• However, a partnership firm does not pay any business income tax. Instead profits from the partnerships are taxed in the hands of the partners in their individual capacity.
Hence it can be seen that a general characteristic of a general partnership is that it does not pay business income tax.
