Question 1.1: Gross Income and the Deposit Paid by FMP

In considering whether the deposit paid by the Freedom Movement Party (FMP) and the
outstanding amount owed should be included in the Gross Income of Green Print Media House (GP
Media House), we must analyze the situation in the context of South African tax law and relevant
case decisions.

Gross Income Definition and Relevant Tax Principles

Under South African tax law, Gross Income is defined in Section 1 of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962
as the total amount, in cash or otherwise, received by or accrued to a taxpayer during a particular
year of assessment, excluding amounts of a capital nature. For an amount to be included in Gross
Income, it must be either received or accrued.

The key question is whether the deposit of R150,000 received by GP Media House and the
outstanding amount can be considered as "received" or "accrued" within the meaning of the Act.
