GST For Partnership

A Partnership is a legal relationship formed by the agreement between two or more individuals to carry on a business as co-owners. A partnership, as distinguished from a corporation, is not a separate entity from the individual owners. The partnership income tax is paid by the partnership, but the profits and losses are divided among the partners, based on their agreement. Partnerships are usually registered with the state in which they do business, but the requirement to register varies from state to state.

There are two types of Partnership firms, registered and un-registered Partnership firm. It is not compulsory to register a Partnership firm; however, it is advisable to register a Partnership firm due to the added advantages.
