Block of Vacant Land
In the case of the block of vacant land as the client signed the contract to sale a block of vacant land in the current tax year, capital gain will be taxable in the current year itself, as the registration of land is immaterial where the client has received the full consideration as per the sale agreement within the stipulated time , as the holding the legal title is not necessary for the charging a capital gain tax. Consideration received within the stipulated time means i.e before the filing of the return of the income of the current tax year, in the case we assume that client has received the income before filing the return of income, So here by concluding that whether capital gain chargeable in current tax year or next tax year, we can charge capital gain tax only on current tax year because contract to sale block of vacant land signed in current year.
As incurrence of $20000 as land taxes will be deducted from the sales consideration as this are the expenditure related to transfer of capital gain.
Deposit of $ 20000 will not be considered while calculating the capital gain tax, for the cost of land $ 100000 we have to calculate indexed cost of acquisition.
As vacant land was acquired in year 2001 and sold in year 2018 it will treated as long term capital asset and capital gain will chargeable as long term capital gain.

This long term term capital loss will be set off only against the long term capital gain.
Total long term capital gain for current tax year:
= 147090.67 + 119175+ 22763.6 + 14289.59
= 303318.86
Total long term capital loss of current tax year:
= 1972.65 + 8228.98
= 10201.63
Total short term capital gain for the current tax year:
= 13000 + 6500
19500
First brought forward long term capital loss of $ 7000 will be set off against log term capital gain 303318.86 – 7000 = 296318.86
Then long term capital loss of current year will be set off:

= 286117.23
Then short term capital loss of the previous will be set off either from short term capital gain or from long term capital gain as per your choice.
= 19500 – 1500 = 18000

Fringe benefit tax is tax payable by the Employers for benefits paid to the Employee in addition to the salary or the wages. This is Separate to the income tax and is calculated on the taxable value of fringe benefits provided.
Taxable value of the car Fringe benefits :
Taxable value = (A*B*C)/D-E
Where,
A = Base value of the car.
B= Statutory percentage applicable.
C= Number of days in the FBT year when the car was used or available for private use of Employees
D= Number of Days in the FBT year.
E= Employee Contribution.
Base value of the car = original cost price including GST
= $33000 including GST
Car will be considered as available for the private use where the car repair at the workshop for the routine service, In this case it is for 5 days .
Car will not be considered as private use where it is parked at airport in this case it is for 10 days.
Expenses of $ 550 will not be considered as it will reimbursed by the rapid Heat Pty ltd.
As the total kilometre travelled during the year is 11000 Kilometres which is less than 15000 kilometres.
Number of days in the FBT Year when the car was used for the private use of the Employees
= From 1st May 2018 to 31st March 2018
= 335 days
= 335days – 10 days
= 325 days
Statutory applicable Percentage :
11000 * 365/325
= 12354 Kilometres
As the 12354 kilometres is less than 15000 kilometres the applicable statutory percentage is 26%
Calculation of the taxable value:
= 33000 * 26% * 325/365
= Taxable value is 7639.72
Taxable value of the loan Fringe benefit is the difference between the Interest accrued during the FBT year and the statutory rate of interest will be applied to the daily outstanding balance of the loan and the interest actually received. GST does not affect the taxable value of the loan fringe benefits.
As the loan of $ 500000 is provided to the jasmine, the statutory interest is 5.65%
= Notional interest on the loan will be $500000 * 5.65%
= $ 28250
The actual interest would be = 500000 *4.25%
= 21250
The difference of 28250 – 21250
= 7000 will be taxable value of the loan fringe benefit tax.
Lent $ 50000 to husband at interest free to purchase the share of the Telstra. Husband shares in the dividend income of the shares is 50000 /500000 i.e is 10%
The otherwise deductible rule applies , but the taxable value can only be reduced by the employee (Jasmine share)In the Income producing asset
Jasmine share 100% - 10% = 90%
Taxable value multiply by Jasmine share
= 7000 * 90%
= 6300
As jasmine purchase the Electric heaters for $ 1300 which is less than amount of 2600 at which rapid hear sold to general public in outside market , then the taxable value will be
= 2600 – 1300
= 1300 is the taxable value
It is immaterial that is electric heater is manufacture at $700 because we compare the actual price with the market price .
Calculation of the total FBT Liability:
= 7369.72 + 7000 +1300
= 15669.72
Rapid heat set off the GST paid on the purchase of the car and the expenses incurred on the minor repairs with their Output sales GST.
