Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Small-Scale Property Development (Part 1): Capital Gain or Taxable Income?
Q: What evidence is most persuasive when establishing whether a development sits on capital or revenue account?
Contemporaneous evidence about intention, how the project progressed, and steps taken along the way are crucial; a case-by-case analysis considers intention, commercial nature, and whether the development is conducted in a way that resembles a business or ordinary asset management.
Small-Scale Property Development (Part 1): Capital Gain or Taxable Income?
Q: Tom, let's start with some basics. We talk about this line between revenue and capital in a property development. Why does that distinction matter?
The distinction matters because it determines which tax provisions apply, such as capital gains tax discounts and main residence concessions if it's capital, versus ordinary income treatment, deductions, and potentially trading stock if it's revenue. It also affects the overall tax payable and whether any concessions are available.
Commercial Leases (Part 2): Case Study on Exercising an Option
Q: How is proposed rent typically determined for the next term?
Most leases use a market rent review, with possible fixed increases or CPI; if the offer seems low, obtain an appraisal to substantiate a higher rent.
Commercial Leases (Part 2): Case Study on Exercising an Option
Q: What is the first thing a tenant should check when approaching expiry?
Confirm whether the lease is retail or non-retail, and then ensure proper notice is given under the Retail Leases Act to preserve renewal rights and timelines.
Good Contracts Prevent Disputes: A Practical Guide to Better Drafting
Q: Can I rely on emails as a contract?
Emails can form part of a contract and may become a full contract if robust enough, but discrepancies across emails can create ambiguity and implied terms; a clear, written trail is preferable.
