Norman acquired his main residence in Melbourne in April 2016, incurring a cost for the acquisition and legal and stamp duty costs. A year later, he incurred an additional cost in converting a part of his home (two of six rooms) suitable for his hairdressing business. The Capital Gains Tax (CGT) implications on these transactions are discussed below.
Section 118-110 of ITAA97 states that a tax-payer is entitled to a full CGT main residence exemption if the tax-payer is an individual and if the dwelling was acquired after 20 September 1985 and if it was the aforesaid tax-payer’s main residence during the period of ownership. However, if the dwelling was used for the purpose of producing assessable income and a CGT event occurs, the tax-payer will be entitled to a partial exemption only under s 118-190 of ITAA97.

Norman acquiring his residence creates a CGT event (D1) under ITAA97 s 104-35(1) and the time of the CGT event is when he bought it, which is April 2016. Norman, being the tax-payer is an individual and has used his dwelling since he acquired it for an entire year before he started using his residence for his hairdressing business. For this reason, he is not entitled to a full main residence exemption, but a partial exemption under ITAA97 s 118-190. Since it was established that a CGT event occurred and that a part of his residence was utilised for his business, a portion of the proceeds will be accounted for as a capital gain or loss under s 118-110 of ITAA97. For this purpose, the proportion of the residence that was used for the hairdressing business (2 out of 6 rooms) and the period for which the residence was used for income-producing purposes (2 out of 15 months) will be

Derivative suits are suits that are filed by the shareholder/shareholders of a company intending to protect the affairs of the company when the board of directors fails to do so. Thus, derivative suits in a way insist on the accountability from the part of the directors. In the United States the law of the States governs the corporations and therefore each state has its own law to govern corporations. Most of them have enacted the company laws based on Model Business Corporations Act, 1950 (MBCA). Delaware, the smallest US State is different from the other states with respect to the corporate laws. This is because, while MBCA being the statutory enactment, the laws relating to derivative suits in Delaware is created mainly by adopting the common
RBC Financial Group uses a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy that provides a variety of services for a variety of clients. The strategy allows for individual customers to trust RBC and develop a personal relationship with each and every client. One major factor that allows CRM to operate effectively is the use of technologies and analytics to help classify each client’s financial situation. These customer profitability-based techniques allowed RBC to categorize their clients into A, B, and C groups so that the sales teams could optimize their efforts in catering to these different clients. This strategy holds the following strengths: optimizing sales efforts to different customers, easily accessible electronic sales leads, centralized and standardized financial decisions, and building personalized and sustainable customer relationships. There are a few weaknesses to the system though including the complexity in predicting future positions of companies despite the use of analytics as well as the complexity in creating consistency when using these

...against first registration is being phased out; by which after 2 years no applications will be taken and those in the previous 2 years cancelled, meaning that upon sale the property must be registered.

As the rise of taxation and exemptions has been the focus since the 1970’s, so have court cases to resolve exemption matters. In the case of Greater Anchorage Area Borough v.

The details of the Sisters of Charity entail of them being a long time health care provider in Alaska the Providence Professional building near the hospital deeded to them in 1959.

For the greater part of the last decade, we in the United States have been witness to a consistently appreciating real estate market. Sometimes it seems that almost anyone who has purchased a house, piece of property, or other real estate type investment has done very well. I personally can point to a few examples where friends of mine have made several hundred times their first home equity investment. In sales of primary homes there is a tax advantage that the IRS permits, as long as the proceeds are invested into another home, the capital gains on your existing home sale are exempt from taxation. However, if the property in question is an investment, a capital gain tax is assessed every time there is a sale that includes a gain. A tax strategy that investors can employ in such situations is to transfer their investment property for another investment of “like-kind”, this is a Section 1031 Exchange. Under Section 1031, if all its guidelines are met, the exchange is not a taxable event. Also, similar to tax rules regarding reorganizations - in a 1031 Exchange there is no taxable event and therefore no step-up in basis.

The Land registration Act 2002 extends the range of events which trigger compulsory first registration making all titles to land registered. The primary aim of the LRA 2002 is to ensure the quick, efficient and inexpensive transfer of estates and interests in land while ensuring that third-party interests in land are properly protected. The interest must be a proprietary interest in the land for example possessory rights or an estate contract.
