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.

The role of shareholders in business rescue proceedings

One of the stated purposes of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) is to promote innovation and investment in South African markets and provide for the efficient rescue and recovery of financially distressed companies, in a manner that balances the rights and interests of all relevant stakeholders, including shareholders. Business rescue is therefore widely accepted as an alternative to liquidation for financially distressed companies, with the intention of giving such companies the opportunity to reorganise and restructure their affairs for them to regain their solvency. To this end, the definition of “ affected persons ” includes creditors, employees (or their representative), a registered trade union and shareholders. The role played by each “ affected person ” is unique in many ways but can have an impact on the failure or success of any business rescue proceedings.
