I have just spoken with Lisa Eastwood (new client) over her tax position for the current tax year. I will be getting further documentation tomorrow; however, I need you to examine my notes below and determine the tax consequences arising from her various activities. Lisa has recently moved to Melbourne from Darwin, after being appointed as Regional Manager at the company, Dial Before You Dig. Lisas Darwin Home Lisa sold her home in Darwin (contract date September 2019, settlement December 2019), receiving $1,220,000 at settlement. This is after legal fees ($12,000), advertising ($2,000) and real estate commissions ($25,000) were deducted. Records indicate that Lisa purchased the property in 2002 (contract date January, settlement March) for $653,000. Legal fees, commissions and advertising of $8,000 were also incurred. Lisa moved in within 6 months, selling her former residence during that time. Over the ownership period, Lisa rented the property for three years beginning December 2010, with $65,000 of $120,000 in non-capital costs claimed against rental income. The property was valued at $890,000 at the time it began being rented. Sculpture Lisa gave a sculpture, valued at $18,900, to her friend in June 2020. The sculpture was purchased for $480 in December 2000 and repaired in March 2016 for $1,250. Vase When Lisa was playing with her cat in September 2019, the cat accidentally knocked over and broke a vase given to her by her grandmother in September 2018 (worth $6,100 at that time). The vase dated back to the Australian gold rush (circa 1850's) and, after undertaking some research, she discovered it was currently worth approximately $27,000. Lisa did not have insurance for the item. Cryptocurrency Lisa converted cryptocurrency into $27,200 Australian dollars in October 2019. To complete the transaction, she incurred $950 in transaction fees. Therefore, Lisa received $26,250 in cash. Lisa had acquired the cryptocurrency in September 2018 for $9,200 Australian dollars. Shares Lisa sold shares she held in a construction company in March 2020 for $182,000. She had purchased the shares for $37,200 in December 1986. Lisa has indicated that she has carried forward losses from prior years of $180,000 relating to a prior disposal of shares and land. We will have a meeting first thing Monday morning, so please complete your analysis by the end of Friday so I can review her circumstances over the weekend.

Lisa has sent through the following information. Can you pull this together with what you have examined already so we can have a tax estimate ready to go. Wages (Melbourne employment) - $125,000 net wages, PAYG withheld of $43,000 plus a bonus of $5,000 was paid. Wages (Darwin employment) - $25,000 net wages, PAYG withheld of $1,500 Interest income $1,000 Allowable general deductions $3,300 Allowable specific deductions $1,000 Lisa is single with no private health insurance. Lisa has no reportable fringe benefits or reportable superannuation contributions. Again, I need this by the end of Friday.

Unfortunately, Lisa has just called. Her earlier details may be incorrect. Lisa will confirm on Monday the exact details; however, can you review the impact on her position if instead of renting the property for three years, it was rented for eight year. Apologies for the short notice on this one.
