A male model was incurring expenditure on skin care, cosmecs and grooming
o
Judgment
50% of the expenditure was deducble because they were for the purposes of modelling work
The other 50% of the expenditure was incurred in maintaining his general appearance at a high
standard, which was expenditure of a personal nature
APPORTIONMENT
Expenditure is deducble only
to the extent
it is incurred in deriving gross income (
secon DA 1
)
Commissioner of Inland Revenue v Banks
(1978) 3 NZTC 61,236 (CA)
o
Facts
Banks was a part-me tutor at a university
Banks used his dining table as a place to mark papers
Banks claimed part of the costs of running his house – electricity, rates, insurance, depreciaon on
dining table etc.
o
Judgment
The focus must be on the parcular outlay for which deducon is sought
This necessarily includes considering the nature and use of the property in that income year
in order to determine whether the necessary relaonship exists between expenditure and
the carrying out of those income-related acvies on the premises
You need to look at the purpose of the expenditure when it is incurred
There was enough connecon between Banks’ income earning process and the expenditure incurred
on the home – therefore, it wasn’t expenditure of a private nature
Therefore, Banks could claim a deducon on that poron of expenditure
SPECIFIC RULES FOR PARTICULAR TYPES OF EXPENDITURE
TAXES
You generally cannot deduct as an expense (
secon DB 1
):
o
New Zealand income tax (including interest, penales, etc.)
o
Foreign income tax
o
But this does not mean you cannot claim tax credits – you are not claiming a deducon here; you are claiming
a credit
A deducon reduces assessable income to get net income, whereas a credit reduces taxable income
Credits include imputaon credits, foreign tax credits etc.
A registered person cannot deduct either (
secon DB 2
):
o
Input tax on a supply of goods or services to them or
o
GST payable by them
o
This parallels secon CX 1, where taxable income does not include GST – so income tax is calculated on a GST-
exclusive basis
FINANCING COSTS
DB 5
Transacon costs: borrowing money for use as capital
(1)
A person is allowed a deducon for expenditure incurred in borrowing money that is used as capital in deriving their
income.
(2)
This secon overrides the capital limitaon. The general permission must sll be sasfied and the other general
limitaons sll apply.
“Expenditure incurred in borrowing money” tends to be interest payments on a loan
o
You are entled to deducons for interest payments, but not for repayment of the principal amount because
you haven’t incurred any expenditure if you repay the principal amount
DB 6
Interest: not capital expenditure
