ACCT2028 Tax Communication Memo Assignment Fall 2021 George Jetson runs his own business as a sole proprietor. He does not have a background in accounting or finance but has been successful handling his own tax returns in the past. This past year, he made some capital investments in his business that he deducted on his tax return. The CRA has audited George's tax return and has rejected a number of his deductions because they are capital costs. This resulted in George underpaying his taxes and he will now have to pay penalties to the CRA. He has written to you for your guidance to help him better understand the rules so that he doesn't get in trouble with the CRA again. Here are the deductions that the CRA did not allow in full on George's tax return: Building (land makes up $800,000 of this value) $1,400,000 Patent 12,000 Furniture 30,000 Tesla (passenger vehicle for George's employment use) 120,000 $1,562,000 Required: Write a short (one page) memo providing advice for Mr. Jetson regarding the correct tax treatment of the relevant capital costs.
