There are two parts to this case study with each part having a different submission date. CASE STUDY – FACTS (PART ONE)
Eva and Ian are a married couple, with no children, aged 53 and 51 respectively. Ian runs an IT consulting business in the Sydney CBD. The business was set up as a company “Goodwill Net Pty Ltd” on 29 September, 1986. Ian has continued to be Goodwill’s CEO since its incorporation. Of the total 10,000 shares of Goodwill, Ian holds 40% and Eva has 60%. Ian and Eva are both directors of Goodwill Net Pty Ltd and Eva is the chairperson of Goodwill’s board. Ian specialises the research & development in IT projects whereas Eva is responsible for general management and marketing. Goodwill’s office in the CBD is owned by the couple as joint tenants and they lease it back to Goodwill Net Pty Ltd. Details of the property’s rental income and expenses incurred are outlined in the tables below.
Ian’s normal remuneration consists of $180 500 salary (from which $50 000 is deducted as PAYG), plus the provision of a new fully maintained motor vehicle worth $100 000 for private use (private use is estimated at $40 000 per year) and payment of Ian’s family private health insurance of $8 000 per year.
Eva is a fashion designer who works at home and sells products via her on-line shop, “Essentials by Eva”. She has not incorporated her business but operates as a sole trader. Details of her business income and expenses (including motor vehicle expenses) are outlined below. Eva has converted the triple garage of their home into a workshop and office where she undertakes all her work related activities. The workshop has separate power and a separate phone number from that of the house. The workshop comprises approximately 15% of the total area of the house. Eva is also a casual teacher in the creative arts course at the local TAFE. In the current year ending 30 June 2019, TAFE paid her $35 000 from which $2 000 was deducted as PAYG instalments. She also won a lottery prize of $15 000 on 5 May 2019.
Ian undertakes a substantial amount of work from home and has a room set aside in the house which is used solely as his office. He also uses this office to work on his Master of Professional Accounting degree which he is undertaking at the University of Wollongong. This office comprises approximately 5% of the total area of the home.
In terms of assets, Ian and Eva have a variety of investments mainly in real estate, financial market, the shares in Goodwill Net Pty Ltd and superannuation in a complying self-managed fund. As well as owning shares in Goodwill, Lidia invested her inheritance by making a loan to the company and as at 30 June 2019, the company still owed $950 000 on this loan. Lidia has not charged interest on this loan in the past. On 20 August 1997, the couple jointly bought shares in a mining company, AHP, for $300 000. On 1 July 2018 they sold the shares for $120 000 cash, plus the buyer assumed their liability o $20 000 owing on the shares. On 5 April 2019, a piece of artwork worth $10 000 was stolen from their house. The painting was a special gift from an Italian friend and it was worth $7 000 when it was gifted on 1 July 1998. The panting was not insured. Another gift that the couple received is a valuable stamp given by Eva’s grandmother on 1 May 1997 which had a market value of $30 000 at the time. On 9 May 2019, the couple sold the stamp for $50 000 in cash and a car worth $10 000. On 15 May 2019, Eva and Ian gifted an oil painting to a close friend. The current market value of the painting is $10 000. They purchased the painting on 30 September 1988 for $9 000.
