Phipps Car Rentals Ltd commenced operations on 1 July 2016. At this time it purchased 4 cars at a cost of $30,000 each, and proceeded to rent these on a short-term basis to people visiting Canberra. Accounting operating profit before tax was as follows:

2016/7	$250,000
2017/8	$350,000
2018/9	$450,000

For taxation purposes the cars are depreciable at 15% p.a. whilst for accounting purposes they a depreciable at 10% p.a., both straight line. The tax rate for the years 2016/7 is 30%. After the commencement of the year 2017/8 it is announced that the tax rate decreases to 27.5% and this applies for the 2017/8 year onwards

2016/7 - When establishing Phipps in 2016/7, costs of $5,000 were incurred which are non-deductable for tax purposes. To minimise his tax payments in this financial year, Phipps prepays interest of $9,000 relating to the next month.

2017/8

Phipps is fined $10,000 for the non-payment of superannuation on account of employees (this is not tax deductible).

2018/9

Phipps recognises the provision for long service leave of $5,000 as an expense. Additionally, Phipps believes that the cars are still worth $25,000 each and revalues the cars to this value at the end of the financial year. Phipps has a policy of not selling cars. Rather as they get older, the cars are rented to less discerning markets and ultimately to backpackers.
