Answer to Question 1.

2TAXATION LAW
Laws:
Income tax assessment Act 1997 is one of the main statues for calculating income tax
and an act of Australian parliament.
Under the provision of section 8-1 of the income tax assessment act, 1997, some of
the general deductions are provided that are listed below:
Any loss or outgoing can be deducted from assessable income to the extent that
 Loss is incurred in conducting business for the purpose of producing and gaining
assessable income.
 Loss is incurred in producing and gaining assessable income
However, under this section loss or outgoing cannot be deducted to the extent that:
 Loss or expenses incurred is of domestic or private nature
 Outgoing or loss is of capital nature
 Tax payers are prevented from deducting as per the provision act
 Expenses are incurred in relation to producing or gaining exempted income tax on net
assessable non-exempt income (Miller and Oats 2016).
Under section 8-1, for loss or outgoing, a taxpayer is accordingly entitled to general
deductions. This is applicable if the amount of expenses or losses satisfies none of the four
negative limbs in subsection 8-1(2) and one of the two positive limbs in subsection 8-1(1).
The working of taxable income is provided under section 5.15 of income tax
assessment act, 1997. Taxable income can be worked out by given formula as below:
Taxable income= Assessable income- Deductions
This involved adding up of all assessable income of year and then adding up
deductions for income year. In last step, deductions are subtracted from assessable income.

3TAXATION LAW
Therefore, it is stated under section 4-15 of income tax assessment act, 1997 that calculation
of taxable income from assessable income is done by deducting allowable expenses. Under
section 8-1(1) of the ITAA 1997, taxpayer can claim deductions for the items that are listed
above or criteria given above. Deductions under section 8-1(1) of the ITAA 1997for the
given situations are discussed below.
Applications:
 In the first situation, an individual for moving machineries to a new site incurs cost.
Deductions relating to expenses incurred for machinery will be considered under
section 8-1 when usage of machinery helps in generating income that can be taxed
(Bankman et al. 2017). This can be explained with the help of a given case where
relocation of plant involved expense that are not allowed for deductions as capital
expenditure expenses. Granite Supply Association Ltd v Kitton (1905) and Smith v
Westinghouse Brake Company (1888) is a case that lead to relocating of plants that
involve expenditures wold not be used for deduction as the capital nature expenses.
 Second case is incurring of cost that is involved in revaluing assets for effecting
insurance cover. Under section, 8-1A of ITSS 1997, cost that is involved in asset
revaluation is not regarded as considered for deductions and thereby it is not treated as
deductible expenses (Lang et al. 2015).
 Third situation is about legal expenses that is incurred by an organization for
opposing petition in winding up. It is provided in section 8-1 of the act, 1997 that
expenditure incurred by organization in lawful proceedings regarding filing of
petitions for opposing the winding up.
 Last situation deals with number on matters on which legal expenses are incurred by
organization. These involve discharging of mortgage, conveyance and general legal
advice relating to the business of clients. An organization has to incur expenses for

4TAXATION LAW
hiring solicitor for servicing of such accounts. Under section 8-1, if an organization is
incurring expenditure on hiring solicitor for servicing of all such accounts, then such
expenditure is involved in permissible deductions.
Answer to Question 2.
GST Act, 1999
An organisation has the right to take into credit for the payment of GST is the
business activities helps in generating income according to GST Act, 1999. Business are
required to have the proper documentation of any transactions or any purchase of materials,
then only that business is credible for GST input credit (Hayashi 2014).
Big bank operations:
The given case is about Big bank that carries out its operating at national level with 50
branches and has been registered for GST. Bank has lanced new product for which GST
needs to be charged. An amount of $ 1650000 has been incurred by bank that also involves
GST on expenses for advertising. Expenses incurred by bank on advertisement are not
regarded as expenses or is not eligible for input credit and this is ensured by bank.
Expenses that are incurred by organization by organization is eligible for input tax
credit on GST if such expenses are inclusive of GDT and they are incurred during the normal
course of operations of business.
Big bank has been operating nationally having fifty branches by providing deposit
facilities and loans to customers. Insurance policies and Big bank are the new policies that are
launched by bank. Advertising campaign of organization for promoting their newly launched
products involved budget of $ 1650000 that was inclusive of GST. Specific promotion of
contents insurance policies and Big bank home was specifically promoted by a television

5TAXATION LAW
advertising campaign for which $ 550000 was allocated as budget. Budget of $ 1100000 was
allocated for purpose of general advertising and this involved radio, media and print
advertisement. The selling of products such as bank home and insurance policies accounts for
2% of total revenue that is generated by company. The budgeted amount that is set for
advertising of the newly launched product is inclusive of GST value.
Therefore, it can be said that the source from which Big bank derives its major
revenues involves a budgeted value of $ 1100000 which is incurred on promotion of goods
and services. Organization is yet to receive income that will be generated from launching of
newly launch products, the amount incurred on promotion of insurance policies, and bank
home will be treated as capital expenditure.
From the above discussion, it can be inferred that budgeted amount of $ 1100000
involved in promotion of insurance policies and bank home will be eligible for or permitted
to taken input tax credit. Nonetheless, the amount of input credit will not be prohibited or
restricted from input tax credit and the reason is attributable to the fact that income
generation of origination accounts for 2% of expenditure. The following table depicts the
calculation of input tax credit:

A tax payer can claim foreign tax offset if he or she have paid income on profit,
income or gains of capital nature that are involved in Australian assessable income. Offset is
exposed to limit in some circumstances. An individual is entitled to offsetting of foreign
income tax under the following situations and they are as follows:
 An individual has deemed to pad or has actually pad foreign income tax amount.
 Value of assessable income must include gain or income that is paid on foreign
income tax.
If the payment of income tax has been done after the year when related gains have

ITAA act, 1997.
