Furthermore, it should be noted that, Section 20A gives no indication as to what should be considered as a “reasonable prospect” or a “reasonable period” for any trade. The facts and circumstances of a trade in one category such as rental will differ from the facts and circumstances of a trade in another, such as farming. Whether there is a reasonable prospect of deriving taxable income within a reasonable period will, therefore, depend on the facts and circumstances of each specific trade. Taxable income in this instance excludes any taxable capital gain. Whilst the prescribed facts and circumstances must be taken into account, other facts and circumstances may also be considered in unique …show more content…

    Active Participation, as opposed to material participation, need not be regular, continuous and substantial. Active participation can include making some management decisions (approving tenants, approving repairs and capital expenditures, etc.) If a taxpayer qualifies as an Active Participant in his/her Rental Real Estate Activities then s/he has the potential to avoid the passive loss limitations and deduct up to $25,000 of losses from such activities against other nonpassive income.

    Introductory Notes References to sections are to ITAA 1936 (e.g. s 88) or ITAA 1997 (e.g. s 43-10). Note up-front that this is a fairly comprehensive answer. We are not expecting students to come up with an answer as comprehensive as that attached. We are looking for: a coherent approach to the question, quality of argument, identification of key points, absence of self-contradiction in later part of paper, familiarity with primary sources, absence of heresies (e.g. expenditure is capital under s 8-1 because it purchases something that is a CGT asset), original and logical analysis and engaging with the primary materials. Question 1 Receipt to van owners of $500 1.1 Non-Capital Gains Tax Provisions Students should consider whether the receipt is income under ordinary concepts s6-5. One view would be that the amount is not income on ordinary concepts as it is not a product (comes from) of an income-producing activity. Occupying the van in Snake Gully Pty Ltd’s caravan park is not an income-producing activity. It is a holiday activity, which does not give rise to income. Hayes and Scott are the authorities. More specifically, or another way of looking at it, the question is whether the receipt in all the circumstances is a product of an income producing activity? Reference could be made to some of the factors mentioned in the cases (e.g. receipt is unsolicited, the van owners have met all their obligations to Snake Gully Pty Ltd under the licence). Better answers would raise the question as to whether receipts like this are common or ordinary incidents to van owners. Another way some students might put it is to say that the amount is a “mere gift”. Given that Snake Gully Pty Ltd feels a moral obligation towards the van owners, it may be appropriate for students to refer to some of the mere gift cases. In the end, it doesn’t matter much. Note that the donor’s motives (moral obligation, saving of legal costs)…

    Rental income is generally assessed under Section 4(d) Rental Income of the Income Tax Act and is seen as income from investment. When rental income is assessed under section 4 (d), it has to be grouped into three sources namely residential properties, commercial properties and vacant land. The date of commencement of renting is on the first day the property is rented out. In the event a rental loss occurs, it becomes a permanent loss because it cannot be set off against other income sources or even other rental income sources. The loss also cannot be carried forward to the subsequent year of assessment. No capital allowance is given for the premise or assets provided to earn the rent. However, expenses incurred wholly and exclusively in earning the rental income are deductible against the rental income. This includes the replacement or repair or maintenance cost related to the premise and other assets used to earn the rent.…
