Hugh and Hayes Jackson inherited in equal shares a three-storey building that was in desperate need of renovation, from the estate of their late father. Both their late father and his estate were not registered as vendors for Value-added Tax (VAT) purposes. The estate was finally wound up in June 2021. On 01 July 2021, the brothers incorporated a private company, Repmax Ltd. Each brother has a 50% interest in Repmax Ltd. The financial year of the company ends on the last day of February. On 01 July 2021, they sold the building to the newly formed company for R3 600 000 (the open market value being R3000 000). The building was registered in the name of the company on 31 August 2021. As at year-end, no portion of the purchase price has been settled. Together with the application for registration as a vendor, a business plan was submitted to the Commissioner, indicating the expected revenues tabled below (these operations commenced on 01 October 2021). These amounts have been based on signed rental contracts with tenants for the ground and second floor as well as confirmed bookings for the first floor. All amounts include VAT where applicable. Ground Floor 1st Floor 2nd Floor Rental income to be received in terms of rental contracts entered into for the letting of shops Estimated income from supplying overnight accommodation to backpackers. These tenants will normally not stay for more than three nights. The rooms will be furnished and cleaned daily. Unfurnished apartments to be rented out for residential purposes in terms of a contract for a period of a minimum of 12 months. Total expected receipts 690 000 345 000 350 000 1 545 000 1) Furniture purchased To equip the first floor for overnight guests, the company will purchase second-hand furniture from: a) Non-vendors by advertising in the local newspaper. All furniture must be delivered by 30 September 2021 and will be paid at the end of November 2021. b) Large furniture retailers (VAT Vendors). This furniture will comprise of repossessed furniture and will be paid 90 days after the company takes delivery. 2) Renovations Renovations commenced in November 2021 and were completed in January the next year at a total cost of R1 254 700. 3) Staff costs With effect from 01 October 2021, the company will employ cleaning staff for the first floor. Three cleaning staff will be entitled to a monthly salary of R9 200 each, plus a free lunch. To supply free lunches, the company will purchase a caravan that will be equipped as a canteen. One employee will prepare the lunches inside the caravan. 4) Outsource and purchase of equipment The company purchased a computer on 01 October 2021 for R57 000 (including VAT) and correctly claimed the input tax. The company decided that with effect from 01 January 2022, they would outsource the rental operations of the second floor (i.e. an outside agency will let the apartments and collect all the rentals). This computer had previously been used for all rent collections but will now only be used for the ground floor and first floors. (The open market value of the computer on 01 January 2022 and 28 February 2022 was R45 000 and R42 000 respectively). 5) Sale and export As a result of the advertisement for the purchase of second-hand furniture from non-vendors (see point 3 above), the company purchased 20 extra beds (at a total cost of R16 000) from non-vendors. Originally the intention was to keep them for furniture use, but on 20 October 2021, they sold two beds to an employee for R300 (excluding VAT) each (the market value being R800 (excluding VAT) each). The other 18 beds were exported directly to a non-related buyer in China for a total consideration of R20 000 (also during October 2021). These transactions have not yet been recorded. Required: 5.1. Discuss the income tax treatment of the sale of the building to Repmax (Pty) Ltd for Hugh and Hayes Jackson. Discuss whether Repmax (Pty) Ltd should register as a VAT Vendor.
