INTEREST ON CAPITAL
As you know, interest on capital is allowed when it is provided in the Partnership Deed.
If it is so provided, the rate of interest will be as agreed upon by the partners.
The rate of interest should not exceed 12%. If the amount of interest exceeds 12% of the capital then such excess amount is disallowed.
Interest is allowed on the opening balance of the partner’s capital account.
When additional capital is introduced and some capital is withdrawn permanently, the interest will be calculated on the amount of the capital used in the business during a particular period.
