just trying to work out how a business owner pays themselves
if i went into partnership how does this work
so you basically draw money from the net profit of the business and the business pays the tax on the net profit? or do you also have to pay tax as your drawing a wage?
say on a 60/40 partnership split you would get either 40 or 60% of the profit and can do with it as you please?
if i went into partnership how does this work
