QUESTION 1 (25 marks, 30 minutes)
GoSolar (Pty) Ltd (GoSolar) is a South African company that manufactures solar panels for commercial
and residential use, in an industrial area of Johannesburg. The company’s year of assessment ends on
31 March 2021. It is not a small business corporation as defined in the Income Tax Act.
Since the company’s accountant is unfamiliar with tax matters, they have requested your assistance to
calculate the tax liability of the company. The company has provided you with a list of items relating to
the current year of assessment, which must be used to do your calculation for taxation purposes.
Each item and the information per the notes must be addressed:

On 1 June 2020, GoSolar purchased a piece of vacant land for R350 000 in Johannesburg and

entire office block. The agreement was signed on 1 February 2021 between the parties. The
agreement stipulates a lease premium of R110 000 must be paid once-off, once the agreement
is signed. Monthly rental of R20 000 was paid at the beginning of February 2021 and March 2021
to GoSolar. The tenant paid the lease premium on 1 April 2021.
