QUESTION 1 (12 marks) Easy Elevators (Pty) Ltd’s (“EE”)
core business is the maintenance of elevators in
residential and commercial buildings in the Gauteng
region. It has service agreements with each of its
customers and in terms of these, a monthly maintenance
fee of R15 000 is payable on or before the seventh (7th)
day of each month before that month’s service occurs. EE
is a company incorporated in South Africa and its year of
assessment ends on 31 March. One of EE’s customers
paid an amount of R45 000 into EE’s bank account on 7

fees in respect of the following three months i.e. March
2024 to May 2024. EE was informed by the customer that

period and wanted to ensure the maintenance of the
elevators would continue as usual during this time.

ending 31 March 2024. List all the gross income definition
requirements, discuss each one and briefly refer to case
