Assessment tasks 2 and 3 relate to the tax affairs of Bill. The information presented in this first task will be relevant, to both Part A and Part B, along with the feedback provided when your submission is returned. PART A Bill owns and has operated a bicycle shop in a major regional town since 1 July 2011. He lives 15 minutes from town on 5 hectares with his spouse. The property is on two titles. The 4 hectare block has their home and was purchased in joint names. The adjacent 1 hectare has a large shed and workshop/studio apartment that existed when the blocks were purchased and in which they lived while building the house and was purchased only in Bill’s name. Both properties were purchased at the same time, on 1 November 2009, and the home was completed and they moved in on 1 December 2010. The annual gross turnover from the bicycle shop last year was $1,200,000 and he expects this to increase by around 10% in the current year. Each year he arranges for the storage of bicycles purchased, if required by customers, in the shed for pick up in the week before Christmas. Generally these start to be stored from July. In addition he has stored some second hand trade-in bikes acquired mostly in February to October which he drops off at the Mens’ Shed every month. These are reconditioned by the Mens’ Shed members and donated to charity. He has undertaken these activities since July 2015. During the current year he has undertaken an extension to the shop premises which was finished in April costing $200,000. This additional space will discontinue the need for storage away from the shop.   This assignment has two parts, both must be submitted and your submission should adopt the ILAC decision model. Ensure you note relevant legislation, case law or other supporting information as well as any additional information you may require. The report should follow the style guide below.  Each part has a different submission date. The Part A response is to be based on the data provided below under the heading Assessment item 2. Part A Question As a result of the additional storage space Bill is considering the option to sell the 1 hectare containing the shed and workshop/studio apartment. The property was purchased for $300,000 and Bill has made no improvements during the time he has held the property and while he borrowed 80% of the purchase price he has now repaid 60% of his borrowings. He neighbor who is a Real Estate Agent has indicated he believes he could sell the property for $500,000. Required Determine the tax consequences of the sale? (You are NOT required to calculate any possible tax payable but should provide some indication of the amount of any possible assessable component). Your advice is to take the form of a report (adopting ILAC style) which will form part of the client work papers and should include a recommendation based on the known facts provided above as well as identifying any additional information that should be requested prior to providing any advice to the client (15 marks) ANSWER 1. Executive Summary The report consists detailed analysis in respect of tax consequences of sale of 1 hectare land owned by Mr Bill which is adjacent to his main land used as main residence. While 1 hectare land is partially used for residence in initial time. Mr Bill operates his own bicycle shop in the town. He has his home spread in 4 hectare block along with an adjacent 1 hectare land having large shed and workshop/studio apartment. Mr Bill uses shed for the purpose of storage of bicycles required by customers. In current year, Mr Bill made an extension in the bicycle shop in order to make additional space for storage purposes. With this, he no more requires adjacent 1 hectare land; therefore, he considers an option to sell this part of land for $ 500,000. We are making analysis of aforesaid transactions with the help of relevant statutory provisions and judicial pronouncements to decide the nature of transaction of sale i.e. ordinary income by way of business receipts or statutory income by way of capital gain. Looking to the analysis, we recommend Mr Bill to consider sale of adjacent 1 hectare land as capital gains due to the fact that it attracts CGT event 1 for disposal of capital asset. The assessable income (capital gain) being $ 100,000 will attract tax of $19, 822 + 37% on excess over $87000 amounting to $24,632. 2. Issue The issue under consideration is whether the sale of adjacent 1 hectare property having a shed and studio apartment owned by Mr Bill will be in the nature of ordinary income or capital gain transaction attracting capital gain tax in Australian taxation system. The material facts relating to this issue are as follows: · Mr Bill operates his own bicycle shop in the town and had turnover of $ 1,320,000 in the current year. · He has his home in 4 hectare block which was purchased in joint name with his spouse and also owns an another adjacent 1 hectare land having large shed and workshop/studio apartment purchased in his own name. Both the properties were purchased on 1st November, 2009. · The adjacent 1 hectare land was purchased for $ 300,000 for which he took loan of $240,000. He repaid 60% of the borrowing amount and now, the remaining loan in current year is $ 96,000. · Every year, Mr Bill stores bicycles required by customers in the shed which gets picked up in a week before Christmas. · In the current year, he made an extension in the bicycle shop which cost him $200,000. This extension creates additional space for storage purposes. · Now, Mr Bill has additional storage space and therefore, he desires to sell adjacent 1 hectare land for $ 500,000. 3. Law Taxable income of a person in Australia is determined under Income Tax Assessment Act, 1997 (hereinafter referred to as ‘ITAA, 1997’). Section 4-5 of ITAA, 1997 provides that when deductions are subtracted from an assessable income of a taxpayer, the resultant figure is taxable income. Now, the assessable income has two elements, ordinary income (e.g. salary, business receipts, etc.) and statutory income (e.g. annuities, royalties, net capital gains, etc.). Deductions are also detailed out in division 8 of ITAA, 1997 dividing it into two categories namely, general deductions and specific deductions. Income tax rates are then, applied on taxable income and income tax is calculated for a financial year after reducing allowable tax offsets. Now, the first step is to identify the nature of income which arises from sale of land. Either, it can be ordinary income or statutory income (capital gain). Therefore, let us first understand the meaning

BACKGROUND OF THE CASE
In the part A of the assignment, we saw that Mr. Bill was considering whether or not he should sell the adjacent 1 hectare land and we concluded that the Capital Gains Tax will be attracted if Mr. Bill decided to sell the property. The amount of capital gain tax would amount to $24,632 which has
to be paid during the year after considering the exemptions and other taxability laws and judicial decisions.
According to the further data made available in this part, Mr. Bill has taken a decision that he will not sell the property. By not selling the property he will be able to save the amount of Capital gains tax as calculated in part A. Mr. Bill decided to use the property as the apartment as a bed and breakfast following an increased interest in regional holidays and could be made available for bookings from the beginning of February.
From the case given in both the parts (A & B), we know that Mr. Bill runs a bicycle business and there had a total of 5 hectare of land out of which 4 hectare of land was used for residential purpose and was in the joint names along with his spouse. The other 1 hectare was shed and workshop/studio apartment which was used for their residence while they built the property on the 4 hectare land. After shifting from the shed cum apartment, the shed was used for the storage purpose of business and therefore the same could not be get the tax exemption of Section 118-110 of ITAA, 1997 as it was not used for main residence purpose. If Mr. Bill would have sold the adjacent land, he would have to pay capital gain tax instead he decided to use the property as the apartment as a bed and breakfast following an increased interest in regional holidays. This will make two businesses for Mr. Bill: one of the original bicycle business and the renting of property business or simply called hotel business.
EXPLANATION
For the purpose of calculation of the tax payable by Mr. Bill, we will need to analyze the amount of profit that Mr. Bill is be able to generate during the year from the different businesses and any other source of income as available. As per 4-5 of Income Tax Assessment Act, 1997, the taxable income is derived after making appropriate deduction from the assessable income. Only the allowable deductions as mentioned in section 8 of the Income Tax Assessment Act, 1997 are to be made from the assessable income. The deduction can be either general deduction (section 8-1) or specific deductions (Div 12 ITAA97) such as capital allowances.
The business income as generated by Mr. Bill will be taxable under section 6-5 of the ITAA, 1997 that is the bicycle business and the hotel business.
From the data as given we can conclude that MR. Bill along with his spouse had the following income as generated during the year:-
· Business Income: Bicycle Business and Bookings from Bed and Breakfast business.
· Capital Gains on sale of paintings
· Other income such as interest earned, etc.
