A partnership is a group of people who get together, according to the Partnership Act of 1932.
A partnership is an agreement between 2 or more persons to split the profits of a business they run together or independently. Individuals are referred to as "partners," whereas a collection of partners is referred to as a "firm."
A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a type of partnership in which one partner is not accountable for the actions of another partner in the organization.
A registered partnership firm has filed a registration application with the Registrar of Firms and acquired a registration certificate. Unregistered partnerships do not have a registration certificate from the Registrar of Firms.
A partnership firm is obligated to pay the following tax percentages under the Income Tax Act of 1961: –
Exemption:
Interest & Remuneration paid by Firm/LLP is allowed as deduction if following conditions criteria fulfilled:
To reduce the compliance and tax-related burden of small taxpayers, the govt notify a scheme of Presumptive Taxation. Under this scheme, the small taxpayers are not required to maintain books of accounts, and their profits are presumed to be a specific percentage of the Total Sales / Receipts.

Marginal relief is available if the tax payable including surcharge is more than the excess of income over the limit.
The Form ITR-5 is required to be used when filing tax returns for a partnership firm as a whole, not for the individual partners. It is important not to mix up forms ITR-5 and ITR-3. ITR-5, like all other income tax returns, can be filed online through the income tax department's website.
It is also worth mentioning that no need to provide any supporting documentation when filing these forms. Only if the Income Tax Department specifically requests them should these documents be submitted.
A business must file an income tax return online, with or without a digital signature. The company can also use the Electronic Verification Code to file its income tax return. When a partnership firm is obliged to undergo an audit, it must electronically file its income tax returns. The partners must use a class-3 digital signature to verify the filing procedure when filing their income tax returns.
