P.O.V: Your partner ends the partnership but at least there’s no tax payable: BPR 391

At common law, a partnership is not considered to be a legal entity or persona with legal personality separate from its partners. Rather, a partnership has been defined as a legal relationship between two or more persons who carry on a lawful business or undertaking, to which each contributes either money or labour, or anything of value with the object of making a profit, and of sharing that profit between them. As such, all legal consequences flowing from a partnership accrue to the partners in their personal capacities. This is also the position under the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (Act). Therefore, any property of the partnership is co-owned by the partners in undivided shares. Each partner therefore has a proportionate interest in the partnership, and by acquiring an interest in the partnership, each partner acquires an undivided share in the assets of the partnership.
