The Classic Partners LLP
Partnership Firm Compliance
A partnership firm has its own tax and registration obligations under the Indian Partnership Act and the tax laws. We handle the firm's registration, income-tax, GST, and other filings.
Talk to an ExpertWhat is Partnership Compliance?
A partnership firm is a business run by two or more partners under a partnership deed, governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. Its compliance covers the firm's registration, the firm's income-tax return, and the tax registrations the business needs.
A general partnership is different from an LLP, which has its own MCA filings. We advise on the right structure and handle the compliance, and help with registrations through our statutory registration service.
Partnership Compliance Checklist
- A partnership deed setting out the terms between the partners.
- Registration of the firm with the Registrar of Firms.
- PAN of the firm.
- The firm's income-tax return.
- GST and TDS where applicable.
- A tax audit if the turnover crosses the prescribed limit.
Partnership vs LLP
A general partnership firm does not file annual returns with the MCA, while an LLP files Form 8 and Form 11 each year as part of its annual filings. We help you choose the structure that suits you and handle the compliance for either.
