IR Schedules Partnership income

Show your share of income from the partnership’s trade or business from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 in Box 18B, unless it includes:

• interest and any RWT—show this at Question 13 and tick 13C

• dividends and any credits—show this at Question 14 and tick 14C

• overseas income and overseas tax paid—show this at Question 17

• rental income—show this at Question 22

• other income and, if your share of this income:

• is received in recognition of your capital investment in the partnership and you didn’t take any active part in the day-to-day operation or management of the business (for example, you were a sleeping partner), or

• is generated from other investment activity (for example, sale of shares), show this at Question 24.

Partnership income earned as a result of “active” involvement is liable for ACC levies, which will be invoiced by ACC.
