General partnerships do not pay income tax. However, the owners or partners of a general partnership do. As with sole proprietorships and limited liability companies, partnerships are pass-through tax entities. This means the profits and losses of a partnership trickle down to the business' owners, who must declare their share of the business' income on their personal tax returns. Partnerships do not have to calculate or pay estimated taxes.

Tax will be payable at a flat rate of 30% plus 3% Education cess & Secondary and Higher Education cess on the total of income tax.
