Tax cases : FCT v Email Limited

Source: Taxation In Australia Journal Article

Published Date: 1 Dec 1999

 
In late February, the Federal Court held that a taxpayer could claim a deduction under sec. 51(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 for payments made under an indemnity given by the taxpayer to a third party who had purchased shares from a subsidiary of the taxpayer (Email Limited v FCT 99 ATC 4,208). However, in September, the Full Federal Court held that the payments were made on capital account and were not deductible (FCT v Email Limited 99 ATC 4,868). This article reports on this case.
