Ed And Marie's Construction Company Case Study

He sought to deduct various expenses associated with maintaining the office including electricity, gas, repairs and maintenance. These expenses were allowed under s.8(1)(i)(ii) as office rent, but the court did not see them as “supplies” that were “consumed.” However despite this decision, the CRA regards these items as supplies and allows them to be deductible under s.8(1)(i)(iii) ITA. According to CRA Bulletin, paragraphs 9 and 10, supplies in para 8(1)(i)(iii) do not include basic monthly service charge for a telephone line, however, in cases that followed, Prewer v MNR, the taxpayer was able to deduct a percentage of her house, but it had to be reasonable otherwise it would fall under s.67 ITA. The court reconsidered this position in Felton v MNR and said that if you own the home, then you cant deduct rent because “rent” can only arise in a and lord-tenant relationship and here one does not exist. In Haltrecht v Canada, the minister would not allow the deduction of utilities and maintenance costs of the house but in the CRA Interpretation bulletin IT-352R2, they said that they would allow deduction under s.8(1)(i)(ii) they would allow a reasonable deduction of expenses paid by the taxpayer which would include, maintenance of home including, fuel, electricity, light bulbs, cleaning materials and minor

In Mason, the taxpayer suffered a severe attack of paralytic poliomyelitis. The cost of installation of a specially designed swimming pool, installed on the advice of a physician to provide hydrotherapeutic treatment for the taxpayer was found by jury to constitute a deductible medical expense and not a nondeductible capital expenditure. The swimming pool in Mason covered an area of thirty by fifteen feet, had a depth of four to six feet, and included a ramp designed to facilitate entry by wheel chair.

Charley Long, a truck driver, works for a seafood company in Mobile, Alabama. Charley helps to deliver fresh seafood to customers from Mobile with the company’s truck. Charley leaves Mobile every weekday at 4:00pm and arrives his last stop at 12:00 midnight. It’s up to Charley whether to drive straight back or spend a night along the road as Charley’s company doesn’t reimburse any his lodging and food expense. Charley sometimes sleeps in his cab in which is equipped with sleeping facilities, having one meal on his way. Occasionally, Charley stays in motels during which he will eat two meals. The IRS disallowed all his expenses generated in his trips, as IRS believes that his expenses are personal expenses.

Internal Revenue Code § 121 (a) notes that the $500,000 exclusion for joint returns that the Dutros appropriated would only apply “if, during the 5-year period ending on the date of sale or exchange, such property has been owned and used by the taxpayer as the taxpayer’s principal residence for periods aggregating 2 years or more.” The important phrase to note is that the home has been used by the taxpayer as their “principal residence” for at least two years. Therefore, the dilemma is that the Dutros rebuilt their home and

The 179D tax deduction is part of a federal tax code section that gives tax reducing incentives for the construction of new commercial or government buildings that are energy efficient. Sometimes, it can also be used for other buildings that are remodeled to include new energy efficient features though. It is unique in comparison to other tax credits because of the way it can give both the building 's owner and the architect who designs the structure tax incentives. Because it motivates people to choose environmentally safe building attributes, it is also sometimes called the Environmental Protection Act (EPAct). Many people have become interested in this credit because it offers a hefty tax discount of roughly $1.80 for every square foot of the building that is claimed. This can quickly reduce a person 's tax burden, especially if it is combined with other tax credits, such as the Manufacturers ' Energy Efficient Appliance credit. But, those who wish to claim the deduction must include special features that support energy efficiency. Some of them include:

Thus, a capital expenditure which is related only to the sick person and is not related to permanent improvement or betterment of property, if it otherwise qualifies as an expenditure for medical care, shall be deductible; for example, an expenditure for eye glasses, a seeing eye dog, artificial teeth and limbs, a wheel chair, crutches, an inclinator or an air conditioner which is detachable from the property and purchased only for the use of a sick person, etc. Moreover, a capital expenditure for permanent improvement of property may qualify as a medical expense to the extent that the expenditure exceeds the increase in the value of the related property, if the particular expenditure is related directly to medical care. Such a situation could arise, for example, where a taxpayer is advised by a physician to install an elevator in his residence so that the taxpayer's wife who is afflicted with heart disease will not be required to climb stairs. If the cost of installing the elevator is $1,000 and the increase in the value of the residence is determined to be only $700, the difference of $300, which is the amount in excess of the value enhancement, is deductible as a medical expense. If, however, by reason of this expenditure, it is determined that the value of the residence has
