Marvin sells computer equipment and is objecting to an assessment received from SARS. During the current year of
assessment (28 February), Marvin donated second-hand office equipment to a local radio station. In return, the radio station
agreed to broadcast ‘specials’ that Marvin had on certain computer products for the week. SARS taxed the value of the office
equipment donated to the radio station and stated that the donation fell within the definition of gross income. Marvin believes
otherwise.
YOU ARE REQUIRED:
Discuss all the gross income requirements that Marvin should bear in mind when preparing the objection of the assessment.
(Assume that Marvin is a resident of the Republic.)
