Arnold Tilwick, a South African resident, is a successful sugarcane farmer in Tongaat, KwaZulu-Natal.
He purchased his land in 1952 for R3 000 and had been farming on the land ever since. During the
1990s, Arnold erected a sugar mill on a corner of the farm which he handed over to his son Anthony
as he was still extremely passionate about continuing with the farming operations. His main focus
was making the farm a profitable business.
In 2008, Anthony got married, and he and his wife moved into one of the two residences on the
farm.
During the last five years, Arnold has received several offers to buy part of the land, especially the
portion located adjacent to the N2 (a national highway). Various developers wanted to buy the land
to develop new properties on it. Arnold, however, continuously refused these offers as he wanted
to continue his farming operations. During March 2021 though, Arnold received an offer for part of
the land that he simply could not refuse. On 15 April 2021, Arnold sold a small piece (15%) of his
land to a local, commercial property developer, Propmax (Pty) Ltd. Arnold received R2.5 million for
this 15% portion of land sold. The open market value on this land at the time of the sale was R2
million. Arnold was not involved in the development of the land but did attend various meetings on
the process of developing, as it impacted the operations of the farm.
Required:
Discuss if the R2.5 million received by Arnold for the piece of land will be included in his gross
income for the 2022 year of assessment. Refer to the relevant principles in relevant case law.
You are not required to discuss all parts of the definition, but rather your focus should be on
whether the amount is capital in nature or not.
Cast It In (Pty) Ltd (hereafter referred to as Cast It In) was formed by Jean Pierre who originated
from Fresnoy Le Grand in France, where his family had an existing foundry that produced porcelain
enameled cast iron pots from the early 1900s. Jean Pierre emigrated to South Africa in the 1990s
and established his own Foundry nestled in Magaliesburg and continued to produce the same range
that was manufactured in France.
Jean Pierre has expanded the type of products Cast It In offers and has taken advantage of many
technological advances since his family business started in the early 1900s. However, the company
has continued to use the hand-crafted techniques and the original process of forging and casting in
the manufacturing of its cookware. This attention to its heritage is also characteristic of the design.
As a result, Cast It In’s products are now sold in more than 40 countries across the world, including
the UK, US and Australia.
The company is NOT a small business corporation as defined. The current financial year ends on 30
September 2022. You may assume that current legislation applies to Cast It In. All amounts exclude
VAT unless otherwise stated or implied.
The following information relates to Cast It In’s activities for the current financial year:
1. Gross income from South African companies amounts to R14 375 000 (including VAT), while
sales from overseas customers including the USA, UK and Australia amounted to R3 250 000
(including VAT).
2. Dividends received from investments in South African companies amounted to R70 000.
4. Cast It In made a donation that had a cost of R308 000 of cookware to the Maokeng
Child and Family Welfare (an approved Public Benefit Organisation). The market value
of this stock was R320 000. A section 18A certificate was obtained.
5. Due to the fierce competition that was developing in the cookware industry, Jean Pierre
decided to investigate patenting its products and sought legal advice on the Intellectual
Property Acts (see point 8 below). As a result, a patent was acquired at a cost of R23 000
and a trademark was registered at a cost of R8 600.
6. The marketing director, Ms Peggy Traitor, resigned on 30 June 2022. To prohibit her from
trading in direct competition to Cast It In for the next four years, the company paid her
an amount of R600 000 as compensation.
7. The new marketing director travels quite extensively between various cities as he prefers
a very “hands on” approach to various marketing campaigns and the opening of various
Cast It In stores in various shopping malls. He was given the use of a Toyota Corolla, which
was on the 1 July 2022 and given to the marketing director immediately. The following
expenses were recorded in the accounting records from 1 July 2022 to 30 September 2022
in relation to this vehicle:
• Fuel: R12 800 (including VAT)
• Speeding fines: R2 000
• New tyres due to pothole damage: R1 500 (including VAT)
• Depreciation: R3 200
