Translation:Shulchan Aruch/Choshen Mishpat/178

Paragraph 1- If one of the partners requested a waiver from the tax collector and he provides it, the gain would go to the pot as if the requesting partner was a messenger to request for all the partners. If the tax collector on his own, without any appeasement, said he waives because of so and so, it would belong only to that partner.

Paragraph 2- If the king exempted someone from all taxes and levies, he would still be required to pay for what the public spent on the needs of the public and security. See above Siman 163. Paragraph 3- If a partner went down to the partnership-field and worked the field, he is considered someone who went down with permission and would collect as a city-sharecropper would collect, even if he worked on standing grain that was ready to be harvested and even it is a field that is not meant to be planted. The same would apply if he worked on a movable partnership item with permission. ''The partner can only take expenses up to the amount he generated in increase in value. If there was no increase he would not be able to take anything. If the second partner objected to the partner going down to work, such as where the partner erected a building and he objected, and it is something that is impossible for him not to build, he must give his partner his portion. If it is not required that he build, the partner can say take your wood and stones.''
