Only Profits |
The interest on capital is allowed only when the firm has earned profit during the accounting year. Hence, no interest will be allowed during the year the firm has incurred net loss and if in a year, the profit of the firm is less than the amount due to the partners as interest on capital, the payment of interest will be restricted to the amount of profits. In that case, the profit will be effectively distributed in the ratio of interest on capital of each partner. |
