Partnership Income Tax · Coming soon

Partnership returns, with the allocations done right.

Pass-through entities are deceptively complex: capital accounts, mid-year admissions, salary-to-partner traps. We're building PIT after CIT, with the same explainability.

Targeted Q4 2026Following CIT (July 2026). Partnership returns for Y/A 2025/2026 due November 30 2026.
The PIT model

How a partnership return flows.

01
The partnership files its return

A pass-through. The partnership computes divisible income but doesn't itself pay tax on it.

02
Each partner's share is allocated

By the deed's profit ratio. We compute capital, current account and drawings effects.

03
Partners file their IIT returns

Each partner reports their share in Cage 4 of their IIT return, at their personal slab rate.

04
Reconcile against drawings

We tie the partnership Form B to each partner's Form A, flagging reporting mismatches before submission.

Edge cases we handle

The four that catch people out.

Mid-year admission / retirement

Pro-rate income up to and from the admission date. Adjust capital accounts and re-allocate the residual.

Salaried partners

Salary to a partner isn't deductible; it's an allocation of profit. We surface this when the deed mentions a salary.

Loss-allocation cap

A partner's loss share is capped at their capital + current account balance. The residual is carried in the partnership.

Interest on capital

Treated as an appropriation, not expense. Re-classified to the partner's IIT as part of their distributive share.

Partnership tax — common questions

Straight answers, current for 2025/2026.

A Sri Lankan partnership is taxed at two levels. The partnership itself pays income tax at 6% on its divisible profit above Rs. 1 million, reported in a separate Partnership Income Tax (PIT) return. The remaining profit is then allocated to the partners in their profit-sharing ratio and included in each partner's own income, with a credit for the partnership tax already paid so it is not taxed twice. TaxWise produces the allocation and the return together, so each partner's share ties back to the partnership accounts.
