Allowability of working partner remuneration and tax treatment of commission on cash basis are examined. The article explains that where a partnership deed expressly adopts the statutory definition of book profit and authorises remuneration, an inadvertent numeric discrepancy in the deed does not negate authorisation; remuneration quantification is for the firm and payments within statutory computation limits are allowable, especially where the partner declared the amount separately. Separately, a consistent accounting policy of recognising commission on a cash basis, supported by disclosures and documentary evidence that amounts shown in Form 26AS were not received until a later year, justifies deferring taxation and claiming TDS credit when received.
