What doyou mean by “Partnerships / Associations of Persons”?
A Partnership or Association of Persons (AOP) in Pakistan is a business structure formed by two or more individuals who come together to run a business and share its profits and losses. It is treated as a separate taxable entity by the FBR, meaning the partnership files its own tax return, independent of the partners’ personal returns. Partners usually contribute capital, skills, or other resources and jointly make business decisions. Although it is easy to set up and flexible to manage, the partners have unlimitedliability, meaning they are personally responsible for the debts and obligations of the business. This structure is commonly used by small businesses, professional firms, traders, and service providers.
