    We have been requested to review and present to you our recommendations for the start of your new Pharmaceutical/Biotech Consulting Company. To begin, we would like to review the information that we have been given from you to KMCE&A. We understand that you have a background as a business executive as well as a scientific background. Your business plan states you are starting up a consulting company that will handle R&D monitoring for other companies that are in the Pharmaceutical/Biotech Industry. Your client base is mostly in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania area but hope to eventually expand to a global customer base. Your main investments will be in salaries in that as a services industry you will have minimal asset investments. Your personal preference is to have no personal liability. You would like to keep the ownership small and retain the majority ownership of 50% to 60% so that you can keep control of the decision making. However you are open to issuing stock if the funding of your business would benefit from this over financing through debt. You also expect to have a loss of approximately $25,000 in the first year due to start up costs and become profitable by year two. You initially will have three employees joining you at the start of the business. Two employees, Scott & Kate, will be contributing services of an IT specialist and a marketing/public relations as well as a program manager. The third member, Todd, who is an attorney, will not only contribute legal services but also an initial investment of $50,000. We also understand that you have $200,000 of personal funds to invest as well as have obtained an additional $500,000 in financing through securing your own personal assets.…

    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…

    I live in an area called Fredrickson. It’s said to be upper middle class due to the Boing plant. Anyways if I go to the Walmart and shop the prices are different and so is the tax on the items I purchase I was surprised by this. Not only are the prices different but the items that the store carries differ from the others, this is the same with the Safeway store on Canyon rd. the stores are at opposite ends of the road and the prices are different the items are different they cater to the social status of the area. Anyway my point is that places like Seattle have people who own over half of the city and pay no taxes they make it next to impossible to live in the city unless a person is wealthy or homeless. I did a lot of research on the city of Seattle, and sat in on council meetings I can tell you I was appalled with what I learned.…
