Nathan had a car that he acquired for $45,000 5 years ago. It was stolen in the current tax year, and insurance as a result gave Nathan $65,000 in compensation. Nathan, whose job was an industrial chemist, also entered into a restraint of trade with his ex-employer, Chemical Pty Ltd, to not work with any of their competitors for 3 years. Nathan was paid $300,000 for this (assume this did not constitute ordinary income and was also not assessable under s. 15-2). When the agreement lapsed it was not renewed.
