Question

Megan is a mining engineer. Megan spends nearly 8 months of every year out of Australia for work. She is employed predominately by one (Australian based) mining company which issue her a Payment Summary on an annual basis and pay superannuation on her behalf. Megan earned $180,000 gross income from this mining company during the year and she also salary sacrificed $20,000 into superannuation. Megan has late this year accepted a one-off payment of $75,000 agreeing that next year she will not perform any mining services for any other mining company.

Megan performed some freelance services for a number of other mining companies (also Australian based) during the year on an ad hoc basis for which she provided an ABN and a tax invoice. These various invoices totaled $121,000 including GST. Megan also received a case of vintage champagne valued at $1,800 together with a cash amount of $5,000 as Christmas gifts from 2 of these mining companies.

During the year Megan together with a fellow mine engineering specialist designed a particularly useful item of mining equipment which one mining company paid $440,000 which included all rights to the equipment including its intellectual property. This is a one off venture and Megan has no intention of including her half share in her tax return as assessable income this year.

Megan also performs landscape painting activities. During the year her painting skills were recognised via an exhibition of her artwork to such an extent that people paid her $22,000 for the various works exhibited. Megan then won an award of $33,000 from an art industry representative entity for her exhibition. Megan has no intention of including these amounts in her next tax return as she has always enjoyed her painting as a hobby.

General Guidance for Law Assessment Tasks: • Word-process or type your assignment clearly. • Clearly show the subject name, your name and the date at the beginning of the assignment. • Use size A4 paper and leave at least a 3 cm margin on the right-hand side of the page. (This is the best format for both marking and photocopying.) • Retain a copy of each assignment.

Both assignments should be neatly typed in Times New Roman, 12 point font. • A consistent system of footnotes or the APA Referencing System is required. Case and statute names should be italicised. • Answers must be original. They should demonstrate that students not only have read and understood the Study Guide and prescribed readings but also have broadened their knowledge by having read other reference works.
