The various transactions have been discussed as follows with a view of determining their impact on the assessable income for the taxpayer (Charlotte). Assessable income & Deductions
The aim is to highlight the assessable income that Charlotte derives under taxation ambit of s. 6(5), ITAA 1997 that tends to deal with income based on ordinary concepts[1].
Further, based on the verdict of the Thomas v FC of T[2]case, it is appropriate that house would not be considered as a place of business but rather would be limited to only the private study[3], The various expenses that can be considered as deductions under s. 8(1) are as follows[4].
In line with the above discussion, the following deduction may be claimed.
Occupancy related expenses (according to floor area) = (10/100)*31200 = $ 3,120
Running expenses (electricity as per floor area) = (10/100)*2000 = $ 200
Depreciation for FY2016 = 3100*0.4 = $ 1,240
Depreciation for FY2017 = (3100-1240)*0.4 = $ 744
Decline in value available for deduction[6] = 0.7*744 = $ 520.8
Deduction for repairs (internet wireless card)[7] = 0.7*180 = $ 126
Deduction for public transport[8] (s. 8(1) ITAA 1997) = $ 850
Deduction for seminar would not be available as it would not be used to generate assessable income[9]. It is known that Charlotte attended the seminar so as to cater to her personal agenda.
Deduction is not available for premium of income protection insurance which protects the income is case of physical injury[10]. Hence, the premium paid for the same would not be considered deductible.
Thus, net assessable income = 90000 – (3120 + 200 + 520.8 + 126 + 850) = $ 85,183.2
The intent is to determine any assessable income that would potentially arise on the basis of share sale.
As per s. 6(5), ITAA 1997, dividend income is one of the components of ordinary income and would contribute to assessable income. However, whenever there is a disposal of a CGT asset, the capital gains or loss do arise and the same need to be accounted for. For the computation of the same, the cost base of the asset in accordance with s. 110-25 needs to be computed[11]. The cost base of an asset contains elements over and above the acquisition cost particularly related to financing of the asset, maintaining title and incidental costs related to selling and buying of asset. Also, as per s. 115-25, the discount method can be deployed for computation of capital gains only when these are long term in nature[12].
Purchasing price of the share (April 1, 2006) = $ 16,000
Total interest cost incurred with borrowing for the shares = $ 3,000
Incidental costs related to share sale = $ 500
Total cost base of shares = 16000 + 3000 + 500 = $ 19,500
Selling price of the share (April 1, 2017) = $ 20,000
Hence, capital gains on sale of share = 20,000 – 19,500 = $ 500
Outstanding capital losses from share sale (FY2016) = $3,000
Therefore, net capital gains on the share sale would be zero with a pending capital loss of $2,500.
Hence, contribution to assessable income would be only in the form of dividend income in FY2017 which amounts to $ 800 (ignoring the impact of franking credits)[13].
Thus, it may be concluded that the share sale has resulted in contribution of $ 800 to the assessable income.
The objective is to determine if any capital gains/(losses) are made on the sale of the painting.
Painting in accordance with s.108-10(2) is defined under the broad category of collectibles. Capital gains that arise from the sale of any collectible would be realisable only if the buying price is greater than $ 500[14]. Also, capital loss that arise from sale or disposal of collectible would be adjusted only against corresponding capital gains arising from collectible sale only as per s. 108(1)[15].
Buying price of the painting (FY2017) = $ 3,000
Selling price of the painting (FY2017) = $ 2,000
Also, there would be adjustment in the cost base since no additional cost incurred in buying or selling, hence the cost base would essentially constitute of the purchase price only.
Hence, capital gains/(losses) = 2000 – 3000 = -$1,000
Thus, it may be concluded that a capital loss of $1,000 would be carry forwarded to the next year i.e. FY2018 so that it can be offset against gains from sale of collectible items. Hence, the sale of painting has no contribution to assessable income.
Sale of inherited mother’s property
A critical aspect to note is that death of the owner is not considered a CGT event and hence on accounting of the death, no capital gains or losses need to be computed. Further, when a house is passed on which had served as the main residence for the deceased from the time of construction, then the CGT treatment at the hand of beneficiary would essentially depend on the date of inheritance and property purchase and certain other conditions. Considering the given information, a particular situation is being applied.
For any dwelling that is purchased after September 20,1985 and passed on after August 20, 1996, then no CGT implications would arise if both the following conditions are satisfied[16].
It is apparent based on the given facts that the house has been inherited by Charlotte from her mother who died on August 1, 2016. The property was purchased by her mother on August 1, 2005 and from that day onwards, the house continued to serve as the main residence. This dwelling was passed on to Charlotte officially on October 1, 2016. Further exactly after two months i.e. December 1, 2016, the house was sold. Hence, it is apparent that all the conditions are fulfilled as mentioned below.
Thus, no capital gains or losses would be booked on the sale of the house by Charlotte.
The objective is to determine if any capital gains have been derived on the sale of the land to her son.
Cost price of the land (July 1, 2016) = $100,000
Interest paid on the amount borrowed to make the purchase = $6,000
Hence, cost base of the land (s. 110-25) = 100000 + 6000 = $ 106,000
Selling price of land = $ 100
Section 116-30, ITAA 1997 is relevant here as it outlines that the selling price which is considered for computation of capital gains would be always the value which is higher between the selling price and the market value[17].
Hence, for computation of capital gains, the market value of land on the date of sale i.e. $ 120,000 would be considered.
Thus, capital gains = 120,000 – 106,000 = $ 14,000
Net capital gains (after offsetting pending capital losses) = 14000 – 2500 = $ 11,500
The above capital gains would be considered in FY2017 only since the agreement for sale was signed on June 30, 2017. Also, the discount method cannot be applied to lower capital gains liability on account of the holding period not being greater than 1 year.
Thus, taxable capital gains for Charlotte on account of the land sale to her son amounts to $11,500.
The winnings from lottery are not subject to personal income tax since there is no skill involved in the same and it is essentially driven by chance[18]. This is in line with the commentary forwarded in IT 2584 and also Coleman v Commissioner of Taxation[19] [1999] AAT 249. Thus, the winnings at the Aussie Big Lotto would not contribute to the assessable income.
Taxable Income Computation
Net taxable income arising from lecturing = $ 85,183.2
Dividend (without considering franking credits) =$ 800
Total capital gains = $ 11,500
Hence, total taxable income for Charlotte for the year FY2017 = 85,183.2+800+11500 = $ 97,483.2
