passthrough

Unimpeded data relay

A passthrough is an opening or channel that allows something to pass from one side to another—a window between kitchen and dining room, a slot in a wall for documents.

In computing and finance, passthrough describes arrangements where data, costs, or income flow directly through an intermediary without modification: passthrough authentication, passthrough taxation.

A passthrough entity passes profits directly to owners rather than being taxed at the business level.
