S849 Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005, S1259 Corporation Tax Act 2009, S12AA and S12AB TMA 1970

In the case of a mixed partnership consisting of members who are companies and individuals the share of partnership profits allocated to corporate partners must be computed using the Corporation Tax rules and the share of partnership profits allocated to individuals must be computed using the Income Tax rules. In such a case the partnership should submit two sets of computations.

Where one or more of the partners is a company the rules at CTM36500 onwards apply to the corporate partners.

Similarly, where one or more of the partners is a non-resident individual or company then the share of profits allocated to any such partner must be computed as if the partnership were a non-UK resident individual or company. In such a case the partnership may need to submit an additional set of computations.

Example

Mr Armstrong, a UK resident, and Mrs Beeton, a non-resident, are in partnership. The partnership’s world-wide trade profits amount to £10,000 and included in that sum is its UK profit of £7,500. Partnership profits are shared equally. Two tax computations are required on the following lines

Computation for resident partner

Computation for non-resident partner

Partnerships that include partnerships as partners

From 2018-19 onwards, where one or more of the partners is itself a partnership, the amounts shown in the reporting partnership’s statements as allocated to that other partnership are subject to specific rules, see PM145120.
