    Internal Revenue Code Section 351 permits shareholders of a corporation to defer recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of assets to the corporation. The transfer of property may be made when a new corporation is formed or may reflect additional capital contributions to an existing corporation. Without Section 351, a sole proprietorship or a partnership would have difficulty adopting the corporate form of organization for legal and/or tax purposes because the transfer of appreciated property would constitute a taxable transaction in a recognized gain. The deferral of gain or loss under Section 351 can be justified because the assets have merely been transferred to a corporation that is controlled by the transferors. Section 351 also prevents the recognition of losses on transfers of property that has declined in value.…

    Jane’s salary of $230,000 per year, covering both stand-by duties and normal duties, gives rise to assessable income.1 Nonetheless, her normal travel expenses from home to the place of employment or business are not deductible under Section 8-1 as such costs are not qualified to satisfy the positive limb of the general deductions provisions, that is, they are not sufficiently related to the production of assessable income.2 Rather, the normal travelling expenses are incurred because of a private choice to live somewhere far away from the work place, thus they are not deductible in light of cases like Lunney v FC of T ; Hayley v FC of T.3 However, this is not exactly the same case here. Specifically, Jane could argue on the basis of case like FC of T v Collings4 that her stand-by travelling expenses could be deductible. She is responsible for an emergency case as soon as she receives a phone call. After giving some instructions, she has to drive to the hospital to complete surgery and then return home. In short, the specific travel would be deductible where the travel has technical purpose rather than merely taking a taxpayer to work. Therefore, Jane could be granted of a deduction of $1,700 for her stand-by travel for the 2011-12 income year, representing her travel to and from work outside her normal working hours.5…
