Norman acquired his main residence in Melbourne in April 2016, incurring a cost for the acquisition and legal and stamp duty costs. A year later, he incurred an additional cost in converting a part of his home (two of six rooms) suitable for his hairdressing business. The Capital Gains Tax (CGT) implications on these transactions are discussed below.
Section 118-110 of ITAA97 states that a tax-payer is entitled to a full CGT main residence exemption if the tax-payer is an individual and if the dwelling was acquired after 20 September 1985 and if it was the aforesaid tax-payer’s main residence during the period of ownership. However, if the dwelling was used for the purpose of producing assessable income and a CGT event occurs, the tax-payer will be entitled to a partial exemption only under s 118-190 of ITAA97.

Norman acquiring his residence creates a CGT event (D1) under ITAA97 s 104-35(1) and the time of the CGT event is when he bought it, which is April 2016. Norman, being the tax-payer is an individual and has used his dwelling since he acquired it for an entire year before he started using his residence for his hairdressing business. For this reason, he is not entitled to a full main residence exemption, but a partial exemption under ITAA97 s 118-190. Since it was established that a CGT event occurred and that a part of his residence was utilised for his business, a portion of the proceeds will be accounted for as a capital gain or loss under s 118-110 of ITAA97. For this purpose, the proportion of the residence that was used for the hairdressing business (2 out of 6 rooms) and the period for which the residence was used for income-producing purposes (2 out of 15 months) will be

RBC Financial Group uses a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy that provides a variety of services for a variety of clients. The strategy allows for individual customers to trust RBC and develop a personal relationship with each and every client.

There are a few weaknesses to the system though including the complexity in predicting future positions of companies despite the use of analytics as well as the complexity in creating consistency when using these
Derivative suits are suits that are filed by the shareholder/shareholders of a company intending to protect the affairs of the company when the board of directors fails to do so. Thus, derivative suits in a way insist on the accountability from the part of the directors. In the United States the law of the States governs the corporations and therefore each state has its own law to govern corporations. Most of them have enacted the company laws based on Model Business Corporations Act, 1950 (MBCA). Delaware, the smallest US State is different from the other states with respect to the corporate laws. This is because, while MBCA being the statutory enactment, the laws relating to derivative suits in Delaware is created mainly by adopting the common

...against first registration is being phased out; by which after 2 years no applications will be taken and those in the previous 2 years cancelled, meaning that upon sale the property must be registered. The categories of adverse possession and overriding interests have been tapered. In the circumstance of possible adverse possession it clearly lay out between who is an adverse possessor and those that have a legal right in the property. It also makes compulsory application for title by the adverse possessor after 10 years which will be rejected, the court will notify the paper owner and if after 2 years the adverse possession is not ended the title will be given to the adverse possessor. Overriding interests have been narrowed and certain categories, such as legal easements have been made compulsory to register therefore confirming the easy access to conveyancing.
