Partnership Tax Return Services in Australia

Accurate, Compliant & ATO-Ready Lodgements

Running a partnership business comes with shared responsibilities β€” and partnership tax compliance is one of the most critical. At DIA Taxation, we specialise in Partnership Tax Returns, ensuring your partnership meets all ATO requirements, maximises allowable deductions, and distributes income correctly between partners.

Whether you operate a small family partnership, professional services firm, or investment partnership, our experienced accountants make partnership tax simple, accurate, and stress-free.


What Is a Partnership Tax Return?

A Partnership Tax Return (ATO Form P) reports the income, expenses, and net profit or loss of a partnership for a financial year.
Although the partnership itself does not pay tax, it must lodge a return to show:

  • Total partnership income

  • Allowable deductions

  • Net profit or loss

  • Each partner’s share of income, deductions, and credits

Each partner then reports their share in their individual or company tax return.


Who Needs to Lodge a Partnership Tax Return?

You must lodge a Partnership Tax Return if:

  • Two or more people or entities carry on a business together

  • Profits and losses are shared between partners

  • The partnership has an ABN and earns income

  • The partnership incurred expenses or made a loss

πŸ“Œ Even dormant or low-income partnerships may still have lodgement obligations.
