TLAW603 Taxation Law and Practice
Task:
In your analysis, discuss how the decision of the court, and the tax issue(s) examined by the Court affects a business or commercial enterprise. For example, how might the characterisation of an activity as a ‘business’ activity affect someone undertaking gambling activities? Alternatively, how might the High Court’s recent clarification of the Australian central management & control test for tax residency affect a multinational business operating in Australia?
The report will be due by midnight (AEST) on Friday, 25 September 2020. Submissions MUST be made via Turnitin. Please ensure that your case analysis does not exceed the 3000 word limit (excluding footnotes and bibliography).

You should also refer to any relevant materials from the Secondary Sources listed in the course outline as well as the materials posted on Moodle by your lecturer (e.g. the Reading and Analysing Case Law Aide, the Legal Essay Checklist and the Legal Writing Resource). These supplementary resources will assist you in conducting your analysis of the case you choose as well as writing your views about the case in question.
