This Practice Note sets out the shared parental leave framework for births under section 75E of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) and the Shared Parental Leave Regulations 2014 (SPL Regs 2014), SI 2014/3050.

Instead, the partners are taxed on their respective portions of the partnership’s profits and gains and may claim relief for their share of any losses, whether or not profits and gains are actually distributed to the partners. Consequently, a general partnership is often described as transparent for tax purposes, or simply ‘tax transparent’. In summary, taxing a general partnership involves three steps as follows: calculating the partnership’s taxable profits allocating to each partner their share of that taxable profit according to the partnership’s profit-sharing arrangements assessing each partner’s share of the partnership’s profits to corporation tax or income tax For this Practice Note, and in tax legislation generally, a partner means an equity partner entitled to a portion of the partnership’s profit or loss, rather than someone paid a fixed...
