A partnership is a business structure where two or more individuals share ownership, responsibilities, profits, and liabilities. Each partner contributes capital, labour, or skill, and taxation is typically passed through to personal returns. Accounting for partnerships involves capital accounts, profit-sharing ratios, and partner withdrawals.
