    The journey toward Australia’s legal independence has been characterized by evolution not revolution, hence the lack of any one event and consequently a particular date to celebrate Australia’s legal independence. No particular dramatic event marked Australia’s gaining independence from England, Australian independence was gradual and incredibly slow, and in fact some would argue that it is still not wholly independent owing to residual links and the continuation of a British monarch as the Australian head of state. Australian independence has been reached through largely informal progress with key moments being legal and political milestones enshrined in the statutes of the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia respectively. Examples of these statutes include the Statute of…

    In the case, “FC of T v The Myer Emporium Ltd 87 ATC 4363”, the taxpayer “The Myer Emporium”, worked out a financial arrangement during 6-9 March 1981. Under the arrangement, it lent $80 million to its subsidiary, Myer Finance Ltd, at an interest rate of 12.5% pa. It also assigned its right to the interest (not to the principal) to Citicorp Canberra Pty Ltd for a lump sum in the order of $45 million. The commissioner treated the lump sum of $45 million received as an income receipt, assessable under s 25(1) of ITAA 1936 (Cth). The commissioner also contended that the amount received constituted a profit assessable under the second limb of s 26(a) as a profit arising from a profit-making scheme.1 Both the Victorian Supreme Court and the Full Federal Court decided in favor to Myer despite the fact the taxpayer had argued contrary to the Tax Office!s argument that the lump sum was merely realizing a capital asset because it was a gain from an isolated transaction outside the ordinary course of its retail and property development business. However, the High Court conferred its decision that the $45 million received by the Myer was assessable under s 25(1) as an income receipt and also under the second limb of s 26(a) as a profit from a profit-making under-taking or scheme2. On the facts in Myer, the High Court held that: “It is the fact that Myer!s business at all times was that of retailing and property developer. The income made by…

    According to Australian taxation law, Australian taxpayers could only claim the deductions and rebates (also called offsets) to which they are entitled. S8-1(1) ITAA97 illustrates that the taxpayer could deduct any loss or outgoings which incurred or necessarily incurred in gaining or producing assessable income.

In this essay, we will firstly discuss different opinions concerning the meaning of "incurred" with the related case law, and then analyze the case of "ANZ Banking Group v FCT" to determine whether this case breaks the particular term.…
