CG27640 - Partnerships: partners joining or leaving a partnership: examples

Example 1: Admission of a new partner

Facts

A and B carry on a business in partnership and hold equal interests in partnership assets.

The partnership바카라 사이트™s chargeable assets include a freehold property that is included in the balance sheet at its acquisition cost of £240,000 and self-generated goodwill which is not included in the balance sheet.

The CG base costs for A and B are:

- Property Goodwill
A Property £240,000 x 1/2 = £120,000 Goodwill Nil x 1/2 = Nil
B Property £240,000 x 1/2 = £120,000 Goodwill Nil x 1/2 = Nil

On the admission of C to the partnership the sharing ratios are changed to 1/3 each.

On becoming a partner C makes a capital contribution to the partnership of £50,000 which is credited to his capital account.

No consideration passes directly from Partner C to Partners A and B in respect of the acquisition of a 1/3 interest in partnership assets.

Analysis

Partners A and B are treated as having made a part disposal of their interests in partnership assets because each has disposed of a 1/6 (1/2 바카라 사이트“ 1/3) interest.

Section 4 of SP D12 applies to the calculation of the gain, see CG27500.

CG base costs to carry forward:

- Property Goodwill
A Property £120,000 - £40,000 = £80,000 Goodwill Nil 바카라 사이트“ Nil = Nil
B Property £120,000 - £40,000 = £80,000 Goodwill Nil 바카라 사이트“ Nil = Nil
C Property £ 40,000 + £40,000 = £80,000 Goodwill Nil + Nil = Nil

C is treated as having acquired his 1/3 interest for an amount equal to the disposal consideration taken into account for A and B.

Note that the £50,000 capital introduced to the partnership by C does not feature in the CG computation as it was credited to his capital account. It was not a payment made directly or indirectly between the partners.

Example 2: Admission of a new partner following a revaluation of a partnership asset

Facts

A and B carry on a business in partnership and hold equal interests in partnership assets.

The partnership owns freehold property which cost £240,000 but which, following a revaluation, is included in the balance sheet at its current value of £300,000.

The CG base costs for A and B are:

- Property
A Property £240,000 x 1/2 = £120,000
B Property £240,000 x 1/2 = £120,000

The surplus on revaluation, (£300,000 - £240,000) £60,000 was credited to A and B바카라 사이트™s capital accounts in proportion to their fractional interests:

- Calculation
Partner A £60,000 x ½ = £30,000
Partner B £60,000 x ½ = £30,000

Disposals

1) On the admission of C to the partnership the sharing ratios are changed to 1/3 each.

On becoming a partner C makes a capital contribution to the partnership of £50,000 which is credited to his capital account.

No consideration passes directly from Partner C to Partners A and B in respect of the acquisition of a 1/3 interest in partnership assets.

2) Two years later the partnership sells the freehold property for £600,000.

The surplus on disposal of £600,000 - £300,000 = £300,000 is credited to the partners바카라 사이트™ capital accounts as to:

- Calculation
Partner A £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000
Partner B £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000
Partner C £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000

B Freehold property £120,000 - £40,000 = £80,000
C Freehold property £50,000 + £50,000 = £100,000

C is treated as having acquired his fractional interest for an amount equal to the disposal consideration taken into account for A and B.

2) Sale of the freehold property for £600,000

The partners바카라 사이트™ CG computations will be calculated in accordance with section 2 of SP D12, see CG27350, as follows:

- Partner A Partner B Partner C

Note that:

Partner A바카라 사이트™s gains of (£10,000 + £120,000) £130,000 are equal to:

- Amount
Surplus on revaluation £60,000 x 1/2 £30,000
Surplus on disposal £300,000 x 1/3 £100,000

- £130,000
Partner C바카라 사이트™s gain of £100,000 is equal to: -
Surplus on disposal £300,000 x 1/3 £100,000

The total gains (£10,000 + £10,000 + £120,000 + £120,000 + £100,000) £360,000 are equal to the overall gain on the property (disposal proceeds £600,000 - acquisition cost £240,000) £360,000.

Example 3: Payments between partners on the admission of a new partner

Facts

A and B carry on a business in partnership and hold equal interests in partnership assets.

The only chargeable asset of the partnership consists of goodwill which is not included in the balance sheet. As there were no costs of acquisition for goodwill the partners바카라 사이트™ CG base costs are nil.

Disposals

1) On the admission of C to the partnership the sharing ratios are changed to 1/3 each.

On joining C makes a capital contribution to the partnership of £40,000 which is credited to his capital account. In addition he makes a direct payment of £25,000 to each of A and B for his acquisition of an interest in goodwill.

2) Five years later the partners decide to sell their business as a going concern to a third party. The disposal consideration for goodwill is £270,000.

The total gains (£25,000 + £25,000 + £90,000 + £90,000 + £40,000) £270,000 are equal to the overall gain arising on the disposal of goodwill (disposal proceeds £270,000 바카라 사이트“ acquisition cost nil) £270,000.

Example 4: A partner leaves after assets have been revalued

Facts

A, B and C carry on a business in partnership and hold equal interests in partnership assets.

The partnership바카라 사이트™s chargeable assets consist of freehold property which it acquired for £600,000 but which, following a revaluation, is included in the balance sheet at a value of £900,000 and goodwill which it acquired for £300,000 but which has been written down in the balance sheet to £210,000.

The surplus and deficit on the revaluations were credited and debited to each of the partners바카라 사이트™ capital accounts as to:

Property £900,000 - £600,000 = £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000

Goodwill £210,000 - £300,000 = (£90,000) x 1/3 = (£30,000)

The CG base costs of the partners are:

- Property Goodwill
Partner A Property £600,000 x 1/3 = £200,000 Goodwill £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000
Partner B Property £600,000 x 1/3 = £200,000 Goodwill £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000
Partner C Property £600,000 x 1/3 = £200,000 Goodwill £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000

Disposals

1) On B바카라 사이트™s retirement from the partnership the sharing ratios are changed to:

  • Partner A - 1/2
  • Partner C - 1/2

The balance on B바카라 사이트™s capital account was repaid to him but he did not receive any direct consideration from A and C for the disposal of his 1/3 interest in the freehold property and goodwill.

2) Three years later A and C decide to retire. They sell the business as a going concern. The disposal consideration includes:

- Amount
Freehold property £960,000
Goodwill £360,000

The surpluses on disposal were credited to the partners바카라 사이트™ capital accounts as to:

Property

- Calculation
Partner A (£960,000 - £900,000) £60,000 x 1/2 = £30,000
Partner C (£960,000 - £900,000) £60,000 x 1/2 = £30,000

Goodwill

- Calculation
Partner A (£360,000 - £210,000) £150,000 x 1/2 = £75,000
Partner C (£360,000 - £210,000) £150,000 x 1/2 = £75,000

Analysis

1) Retirement of B

The CG computations for the disposal of B바카라 사이트™s 1/3 fractional interest based on section 4 of SP D12, see CG27500, will be:

Partner B Property Goodwill
Disposal consideration based on BSV - -
Property £900,000 x 1/3 £300,000 -
Goodwill £210,000 x 1/3 - £ 70,000
Less Acquisition cost £200,000 £100,000
- Gain £100,000 Loss £30,000

Note that B바카라 사이트™s gain and loss are equal to his one-third share of the surplus/deficit on revaluation of the assets:

Property £900,000 - £600,000 = £300,000 x 1/3 = £100,000

Goodwill £210,000 - £300,000 = (£90,000) x 1/3 = (£30,000)

CG base costs to carry forward:

Partner A

- Calculation
Freehold property £200,000 + (£300,000 x ½) £150,000 = £350,000
Goodwill £100,000 + (£70,000 x ½) £35,000 = £135,000

Partner C

- Calculation
Freehold property £200,000 + (£300,000 x ½) £150,000 = £350,000
Goodwill £100,000 + (£70,000 x ½) £35,000 = £135,000

Goodwill

Share of surplus on sale less deficit on revaluation £75,000 - £30,000 = £45,000.
