Case Study
Mr Sam Tipping (Sam) and Mrs Rosa Tipping (Rosa) bought a commercial building in 2014 in the name of their company, SRT Pty Ltd (SRT). They are the sole directorsand shareholders in SRT. The commercial building leases the building to the Tipping Family Trust (Tipping Trust). Sam and Rosa are the trustees and beneficiaries of the Tipping Trust. The Tipping Trust runs a locksmith business (LB).
Charlotte and Mia are business partners and run a wholesale business called Charlotte and Mia (C&M). Charlotte and Mia rent a commercial space to store and supply locks, door hardware, and other locksmith parts and tools
In 2014, Sam and Rosa required funding for their business and decided to advertise the sale of 1,000 shares in SRT on LBs website.
In 2015, Sam and Rosa made $50,000.00 from the sale of the shares. They reinvested $40,000.00 in LB and spent $10,000.00 on buying a second-hand campervan. This money was not accounted for as a dividend or part of a salary. Sam and Rosa intend to tour Australia.
In 2016, C&M becomes LBs new wholesale supplier. Charlotte is the sales representative for C&M. Unknown to Mia, Charlotte sends LB amended tax invoices with an added 10% surcharge for priority service. The tax invoices are paid into Charlottes personal bank account and then 90% of the payment is transferred to the C&Ms bank account.
