While being relatively easy and inexpensive to create, a partnership business structure can require some skilful management when it comes to taxation and accounting.

In Australia, a partnership business structure is when two or more people act as co-owners in a business and share income with each other. For a partnership business, advantages include that they are cheaper to set up than a company, and profits do not have to be disclosed publicly.
A written agreement brings a partnership into being. Once done, you will then need to:
If your partnership has revenue in excess of $75,000 per year, it may also be necessary to register for GST.
A partnership ceases to exist every time there is a change in membership. If you wish to add or remove individuals from the partnership, you must dissolve the present partnership and create a new one. This is done by executing a new partnership agreement.
Generally no. A partnership is not an effective vehicle for holding or amassing appreciating assets. This is because a change in the Partnership has certain capital gains tax implications.
Partnerships can be a good tax structure to minimise tax, because a partner can use any losses to offset income earned from other sources.
