Partners in a partnership agree to divide profits and losses among
themselves.  A stipulation in the partnership contract, which excludes one
or more partners from any share in the partnership losses, is considered
void. (Civil Code of the Philippines)
Partnerships, except Professional Partnerships are subject to 3o%
income tax rate (NIRC) The income tax of partnership is reported as an
expense but is shown separately in the income statement.  The Profit after
deducting the income tax is the amount to be divided among the
partners.
Division of Profits and Losses
Partners consider various factors in determining how equitably and fairly
the profits and loss shall be divided among themselves. This includes:

 The time spent by each partner in overseeing or managing the


activities
 The capital contributions of each of the partners
 The managerial or technological skills of one or some of the partners
 The level of a partner’s influence in the environment of the
partnership operations
Ways to divide the profit and loss
 arbitrary ratio (percentage, fraction or decimal)
 ratio of the partners’ capital balances
1. beginning balance ratio
2. ending balance ratio
3. average balance ratio
 allowance for interest or capital balances and remainder of profit in an
agreed ratio
 allowance for salary and or bonus and remainder of profit in an
agreed ratio
 allowance for interest on capital balances, allowance for salary and/or
bonus, and remainder of profit in an agreed ratio
Note: the profits and losses shall be divided in conformity with the partners’
agreement. Any losses shall be divided in the same manner as profit, when
agreement provides only of dividing profit.
 

In the absence of any stipulation , profits and losses shall be divided in


accordance with capital contribution, but the industrial partner shall not be
liable for the losses (Civil Code of Phils)
 

As for the profits, the industrial partner shall receive such share as may be
just and equitable under the circumstance, which shall be the subject of
agreement among the partners.
 

When an industrial partner at the same time has a capital contribution, he


shall also receive a share in the profits in proportion to his capital
contributions.
