Study Notes

Partnership Characteristics

Mutual Contribution: A partnership requires contributions of money, property, or work/services (industry) to a shared fund.
Division of Profits/Losses: Each partner must share in the profits or losses of the business venture.
Co-Ownership of Assets: All assets contributed become the collective property of the partnership, owned jointly by all partners.
Mutual Agency: Any partner can obligate the other partners by acting within their agreed or implied authority.
Limited Life: A partnership's existence can be ended through partner actions (admission, death, insolvency, incapacity, withdrawal) or by an agreed-upon term expiration.
Unlimited Liability (General Partners): All partners (except limited partners) are personally responsible for the business's debts. This means personal assets can be used to settle partnership obligations.
Income Taxes: Partnerships, excluding general professional partnerships, are taxed at 30% on taxable income (based on R.A. No. 9337).
Partners' Equity Accounts: Partnership accounting involves separate capital and withdrawal accounts for each partner, similar to sole proprietorships but with multiple accounts.
