One of Sumans customers bought some computer equipment for $16,000 on credit on 21 June 2019 but could not pay the account, which was issued on the same day. The customer went bankrupt in November 2019. Suman wrote off the debt on 1 July 2020.

In May 2019, Suman decided to take a night off and go to Star City Casino. It was his lucky night. He won $4,250,000 playing the card game blackJack. His friends told him it was beginners luck.

In July 2019, Suman decided to use the winning money from the casino to purchase a truck for $125,000 and used it as a delivery vehicle for his business. Suman often delivered computer equipment to his customer directly from his suppliers and the toll fares that he incurred for these delivery trips were $2,658 for the 2020 financial year. He had to lodge a tax return for the year ended 30 June 2020 and seek your advice whether he would be able to claim any deduction (including the truck if any) for his business.

In October 2019, Suman also invested the winning money towards an investment property in Sydney for $2.5million. He decided to sell the properties a few months later in August 2020 for $3 million because of the attractive gain. The net proceeds from the sale (after all relevant costs/expenses) is $228,000.
