In principle, when an asset is sold under a binding unconditional contract, the date of the assignment is the date on which the contract is concluded. This applies to oral agreements, although the contract may not be applicable (Thompson/Salah (1972) 47 TC 559). However, following the introduction of the Property Act in 1989, land transfer contracts in England and Wales will have to be concluded in writing (similar requirements apply in Scotland). The ATO considers that an irrevocable tender/call option with no effective terms of exercise can be treated as a sales document, even if a separate sales contract is to be signed (CSR (Qld) v Camphin (1937) 57 CLR 127; SUBCOMMITTEE CGT 7 June 2000, point 8). With respect to the “cash compensation options” granted after November 29, 1993 (according to which the beneficiary must be paid and the person exercising it has the right to obtain payment for the performance of all obligations arising from this option), the beneficiary is treated as an asset transferor, i.e. as a payment obligation. The granting and assignment of the option is considered a single transaction at the time of the subsequent transfer. The person exercising the cash payment option is also considered to have been transferred, as he or she has the right to receive the payment (s 144A). As part of a conditional contract, there is a contract with the granting of the option with one or more conditions (e.g. B exercise communication and conclusion of a formal contract).
As part of an irrevocable offer, there are two contracts, a preliminary contract for the provision of the offer for a specified period and a principal sales contract concluded during the exercise of the option (Cheshire – Fifoot, Law of Contract, Butterworths (8th edition) for [3.56]). You were approached by Smith, who was interested in buying your land. On June 30, 2014, you gave him the opportunity to buy your country for $200,000 within 12 months. Colleen will pay you $10,000 for the option. The legal fee is $500. They realized a capital gain of $9,500 in the 2013/14 income year. Exercise an option If the option you grant is exercised later, you do not know of any capital gain or capital loss you have made from the grant, extension or extension. You may need to change your income tax for a previous year of income. On April 1, 1990, a landowner granted a subject the opportunity to purchase his property before June 30, 1991 at a cost of $100,000. The contract to sell the land as part of the exercise of the option is executed on June 1, 1991.
