(1) This section applies if, on a person (the
"retiring partner" ) ceasing to be a partner in a partnership because of the
retiring partner’s retirement from the partnership or its dissolution,
dutiable property of the partnership is transferred or agreed to be
transferred to the retiring partner.
A, B and
C are in partnership in equal shares. B had a one-third partnership interest
immediately before retiring. On B ceasing to be a partner, A and C transfer
land to B. The dutiable value of the land acquired by B will be reduced by
one-third.
