Tax Yak – Episode 5: Catching up on cases
In this episode of Tax Yak, host Robyn Jacobson yaks with Webb Martin Consulting Director Graeme Prowse about some recent cases.
They discuss the recent Full Federal Court decision in Aussiegolfa, which considered the operation of the in-house asset rules and the sole purpose test for a self managed fund which had an interest in a trust that held a property which housed the SMSF member’s daughter. So were they successful?
Then they consider the implications of the Full Federal Court’s decision in Sharpcan which considered yet again the revenue–capital dichotomy.
Finally, there continues to be uncertainty around the operation of s. 100A, and what is an ’ordinary family or commercial dealing’. Find out where this is at.

Tax Yak – Episode 4: Payroll tax – the state of play
Raise the subject of payroll tax in a conversation with an employer and they will tell you it’s one of the most unpopular taxes in the country.
