Any trade or profession carried on by the grouping is treated as carried on in partnership by members of the grouping.

Rule 5

A person is to be regarded as acquiring or disposing of a share of the assets of the grouping not only where there is an acquisition or disposal of assets by the grouping while he is a member of it, but also where he becomes or ceases to be a member of a grouping or there is a change in his share of the property of the grouping.
