CITATION OF CASE LAW

CASE LAW RELATED to JUDY SOMERVILLE V/S SCOTT JACKSON DATED 30th June 2020

As the Judy is a sole trader of her business and she had started her business as single trader of textiles, as she having some tax-related problems so she winding up her business of textile and she had made an investment in property of $440000 including GST and other costs.

As Judy has bear up other expenses or she had did other expenditures in financial year 2019-2020 an she cleared out her all HELP DEBTS and took a loan of amounting $70000 and do drawings of $10000 for her depositing of BMW.

SOLUTION

Judy had an investment in property amounting dollar 440000 including GST and other costs.

Now just to evade from valuation of taxation of GST or just to evade herself from the surveillance of officers she shut down her business and to stop arrears.

Now as per the cited case law obligations Judy registered under Accrual method or Cash basis as her turnover is less than 2 million dollar so she comes under the category of enterprise and are not liable to take input tax credit and also not liable to Pay GST.

But if we talk about her investment and rental property which she rented for single office services and also given 2 months rent free of dollar 12000 then she is liable to pay tax on income generated indirectly from indirect sources.

As per the obligations talk about cited case laws then there is lots of obligations regarding case law of Judy Somerville v/s Scott Jackson as herein there is a capital gain also which we could described hereinafter that.  

As a tax is not withheld with capital gain, we have to calculate it how much tax we have owe and how much funds we have set aside to cover up the amount.

All assets whatever Judy has purchased or acquired during the time period she had purchased it has to kept in mind are subject to CGT unless it mentioned (Harvey & Lea, 2019).

      Mostly personal assets are Exempted under CGT including home car and personal assets

      CGT also doesn’t apply to depreciating assets only used alone for business purposes for instance   enterprise equipment or rental property (Vann, 2015).

As judy someville is an Australian Resident so she is liable for CGT all over the world in anywhere in the world.

As Judy Somerville is an Australian Resident and she is liable for variety of concessions as she had small single sole trader of her business so she had actively deserve the concessions like Rollover Retirement Exemption ,15 year exemption etc.

FACTS-

(i)   As   the  bank extract  given  us  Income  Statement  of  Individual  Non Business for year ending    30thJune 2020-

As they showed that the period during which the payment shall be made from 1/07/2019 to 30/06/2020

The amount of tax withheld $19812 in lump sum

The gross payment $ 82252

And other fringe benefits till 31st march is $22581

It concludes that as  per the income statement the revenue expenditure is amounted to $82252 and the amount of tax pending in lump sum is $19812 and also did other fringe befits on employees she had earned but she showed the income statement as revenue expenditure also showed that still there is a pending of taxation amount as we show that already she had made payment of gross amount of $82252 as a liability (Harvey & Lea, 2019).

(ii)Register of Judy Somerville Fixed Asset

As per annexure F it describes the fixed asset of Judy Somerville as mentioned her fixed asset like

  1. Computer 

Purchased on 1/09/10 amount to its original cost 4230 for her private use at 20%

As its given that its opening and closing value and also wants calculation as per DV 

Now if we talk about the depreciated value of computer as we know that as per we bring the asset for personal use the value of that asset depreciate and by calculating it by different methods the scrap or salvage value of asset already gets deducted and we got the approximate value of our personal asset as we analyse the round of figure of it (Vann, 2015).

  1. Printer and Furniture 

The same calculations and analyses done accordingly.

CONCLUSION

So far, we come on the last part of the conclusion if we do analyses on all the above facts and figures concluding all the relevant matters and annexures which shows journal of Judy and scott Jackson regarding their business and other taxation matters somehow there brutally we should consider that as-

  1. Per the Bank extract given under annexure a which shows the Debit ands credit of Judy which shows her asset as well as her liabilities which both are equal and the expenses and the revenue which she earned and spent as fringe benefits of others.
  2. Talk about regarding her bank statement which ,mention somewhat about her due arrears and opening and closing end of her business and further information regarding relevant other matters and expenditures where she had did  and also showed at what amount of certain assets she had received and what amount how much amount should be calculated as per their income statement and other taxation rules which applied on it (Bacina, 2017).
  3. We already discussed in the above facts about her income statement now shall talk about her dividend statement as she took dividend amount too so she has gain capital gain on it and she also liable to pay tax because she had windup her business to evade her extra surplus income gained from other sources to made evasion of tax so she could start investing her surplus amount in different- different sectors so that she could save her surplus amount from the catche eye of officers and also she had reduced her other help debts already from her source of aviation business from which she had earned, also she took a loan of $70000 from which she had deposited $10000 for her personal benefits of her enterprises which also could concluded or included inside it.
  4. So after analyzing everything it should be cleared that Judy is liable to pay tax and also liable to pay capital gain as CGT because she is resident of Australia and being a resident of Australia she had to pay due arrears and CGT applies on whatever she have because for her it is must whether she leaves here or in any corner of world. So nobody will evade herself from the Taxation part of it.
