Taxation Law Assignment: Objection to Amended Assessment for Henry

This assignment is a detailed objection letter prepared by a legal counsel, Justin Evans, on behalf of their client, Henry, against an amended tax assessment for the year ending June 30, 2019. The objection contests the revised valuation, arguing for deductions related to travel expenses incurred for self-education (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce), HECS fees, interest on a home renovation loan, and expenses associated with a home office and library. The objection grounds are meticulously presented, referencing relevant sections of the ITAA 1997 and ITAA 1936, and supported by case law such as Federal Commissioner of Taxation v Finn (1961) and Federal Commissioner of Taxation v Highfield (1982). The letter provides a comprehensive analysis of the taxpayer's situation, arguing for the deductibility of expenses based on their connection to income-generating activities. The objection highlights specific expenses, providing detailed justifications and legal precedents to support the claims for deductions, aiming to reduce the tax liability and potentially receive a reimbursement for the amount stated in the assessment.
