Partnership Firm & LLP ITR Filing
File ITR-5 for your Partnership Firm or LLP. Includes finalization of accounts, calculation of partner remuneration, and tax audits.
Overview
Partnership Firms and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are treated as distinct legal entities under the Income Tax Act. Their profits are taxed at a flat rate of 30% (plus applicable surcharge and health/education cess). Because the tax rate is high, it is critical to properly structure the payout of profits as "Partner Remuneration" and "Interest on Partner's Capital", which are allowed as deductible business expenses under Section 40(b), thereby minimizing the firm’s net tax liability. All LLPs and Partnerships must file their return using Form ITR-5.

Key Advantages of Expert LLP/Firm ITR Filing
Proper structuring of the firm's accounts saves massive amounts of tax.
Section 40(b) Optimization

Prevent Disallowance of Expenses
The IT department strictly scrutinizes cash expenses and TDS defaults in firms. We audit your books to ensure no expenses are disallowed during assessment.
Seamless Carry Forward
Timely filing ensures business losses and unabsorbed depreciation are legally carried forward to offset profits in the next 8 years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers to common regulatory inquiries.
Are partners taxed on the share of profit received from the firm?▼
No. The share of profit received by a partner from a Partnership Firm/LLP is completely exempt from tax in the partner’s personal hands (since the firm has already paid the 30% tax). However, Partner Salary and Interest are taxable in the partner's hands.
When is a Tax Audit required for a Firm/LLP?▼
A CA Tax Audit (Form 3CA/3CB-3CD) is mandatory if the firm’s annual sales/turnover exceeds Rs. 1 Crore (or Rs. 10 Crores if 95% of transactions are digital).
