Jack Saunders is the state sales representative for Geliad Pty Ltd (“GPL”), a manufacturer of zinc bromide batteries based in Fairfield, Sydney. On 1 October 2020, GPL supplied Jack with a new car for work. The car cost $65,000 to purchase and is garaged at work on weeknights and at Jack’s home on weekends. GPL also provided Jack with a mobile phone holder valued at $75 that allows him to use his phone while driving. To date, GPL has paid $2,000 for maintenance and repairs of the car, $800 for its registration and $1,200 for insurance. However, Jack has paid $2,000 in fuel expenses. Jack also keeps all invoices, receipts and odometer readings. On 1 December 2020, GPL loaned Jack $10,000 at 2% interest pa. Jack used $6,000 to pay for repairs on his investment property. Jack used the remaining $4,000 on an all-expenses paid holiday to Hayman Islands with his partner. Jack claimed a tax deduction for the property repairs. GPL also provided Jack with a zinc bromide battery which retails for $2,000 but has a wholesale price of $1500. Jack has connected the battery to his solar panels at home for energy storage. By 30 March 2021, Jack had travelled a total of 12,700 kms in the car, with 3000 kms being for private use on weekends. The deemed depreciation in respect of the car for the 2021 FBT year is $7,372. GPL is unsure how the above will be treated for taxation purposes and has come to you for advice.
