C.R.S. Section 7-60-107
Partnership determined

  • how

(1)

In determining whether a partnership exists these rules shall apply:

(a)

Except as provided by section 7-60-116, persons who are not partners as to each other are not partners as to third persons;

(b)

Joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entireties, joint property, common property, or part ownership does not of itself establish a partnership, whether such co-owners do or do not share any profits made by the use of the property;

(c)

The sharing of gross returns does not of itself establish a partnership, whether or not the persons sharing them have a joint or common right or interest in any property from which the returns are derived;

(d)

The receipt by a person of a share of the profits of a business is prima facie evidence that the person is a partner in the business, but no such inference shall be drawn if such profits were received in payment:

(I)

As a debt by installments or otherwise;

(II)

As wages of an employee or rent to a landlord;

(III)

As an annuity to a surviving spouse or representative of a deceased partner;

(IV)

As interest on a loan, though the amount of payment varies with the profits of the business;

(V)

As the consideration for the sale of a goodwill of a business or other property by installments or otherwise.
