Assessment tasks 2 and 3 relate to the tax affairs of Bill.

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.

Part B –
Issue
Bill owns a storage space and containing the shed and the workshop/ studio apartment. Bill had purchased the property for $3,00,000 which was acquired with a loan of 80% of cos
t of acquisition out of which 60% is already repaid. The expected selling price of this could be around $5,00,000 and bill is willing to know the tax implications for this. Bill in the current situation has decided not to sell the property and instead use the said apartment as a bed and breakfast which can be used as regional holidays.
Rule
Bill was earlier planning to sell the shed and workshop which is an appreciating asset and hence, would have attracted capital gain. If the property was held for more than 12 months, it shall attract long term capital gain. In general, if the asset is held for more than one year, it shall be eligible for 50% discount on the amount of capital gain in the form of deduction.
As per the provision of ITAA 1997, sales, difference in stock, interest income and other income shall form part of the assessable income. Purchases, occupancy expenses, wages, travel cost, phone, and internet, interest on loan, occupancy expenses of bed and breakfast expenses and advertising expenses shall all form part of deductions as per Sec 8-1 of ITAA 1997.
