GSTR 2004/6 Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2004/6 Goods and services tax: tax law partnerships and co-owners of property (GSTR 2004/6) confirms supplies between tax law partners can be made. Tax law partnerships 8. A partnership is defined in section 195-1 of the GST Act by reference to the definition of 'partnership' in subsection 995-1(1) of the ITAA 1997. [7] That definition states: Partnership means: (a) an association of persons (other than a company or a limited partnership) carrying on business as partners or in receipt of ordinary income or statutory income jointly; or (b) a limited partnership.

9. The first limb of paragraph (a) of the definition refers to 'an association of persons (other than a company or a limited partnership) carrying on business as partners'. This reflects the general law definition of a partnership, which is 'the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit'. [8] We refer to this type of partnership as a general law partnership. 10. The second limb of paragraph (a) of the definition includes as a partnership an association of persons (other than a company or a limited partnership) 'in receipt of ordinary income or statutory income jointly'. We refer to this type of partnership as a tax law partnership. It is accepted XXX is a tax law partnership as, while it is registered as a XXX with the Australian Tax Office, the XXX do not carry on any business specifically where 'the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit' and is therefore not a common-law partnership.
