Partnerships tax
Canada does not directly tax partnership, but imposes taxes on income earned by the individual partners. Each partner must file a separate income tax return to report his or her income gained or lost from the partnership.
A Partnership Information Return (PIR) must be filed if:
- The partnership has six or more members at any time during the fiscal period.
- There were five or fewer members and one or more of the partners were in another partnership during the fiscal period.
