Case Study 1 Case Study Question 1 – (10 marks) Ms Anstis claimed a deduction for education expenses against her youth allowance income, which was denied by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Ms Anstis (with the assistance of her father, a lawyer) appealed that the ATO had not applied tax legislation appropriately. The ATO having lost one case then appealed to the High Court. The High Court on 11 November 2010 dismissed the Australian Tax Commissioners appeal against the decision of the Full Federal Court in FC of T v Anstis. The Full Federal Court had previously decided that Ms Anstis, who received a youth allowance as a university student, was entitled to a tax deduction for her education expenses incurred in order to derive her income. The full bench of the High Court held that the expenses were incurred in the gaining of the youth allowance and were not of a private or domestic nature, under the general deduction provisions. In a media release following the High Courts decision, the ATO Commissioner said the ATO was considering the decision and would advise taxpayers on potential claims. Discuss the following: What is the role of the ATO as an executive body? (2 marks) Does it make law? (2 marks) How does this case reflect the interaction of the different bodies under the separation of powers doctrine?

Referencing sources of information 1.Avoid plagiarism by referencing your sources. Sources must be referenced where: You are using someone elses ideas You are quoting directly from a source You are paraphrasing someone elses views (See Crosling G.M. and Murphy H.M How to Study Business Law- Reading, Writing and Exams, 3rded, 2000, p 122). 1.Footnotes should be used to reference your sources and should appear at the bottom of each page. Do not include substantive material in the footnotes. All substantive material should appear in the body of the assignment.
