Taxation of Compensation Amount Received by Chevron Ltd Due to Furniture Damages
Question
Fine Furniture Supplies is in the business of leasing and selling Oasis Furniture imported from Sweden. In January 2012, Fine Furniture entered into a contract with Chevron Ltd, a furniture retailer, to supply Oasis furniture over a period of two years. The agreement provided for a fixed price on each various times sold within the two-year period, and also for a free warranty period of 18 months.
Because of a change in tariff regulations in November 2012, the price of Oasis furniture increased by an average of 25%. As a result, Fine Furniture indicated that it wished to terminate the agreement with Chevron Ltd from 1 December 2012. The termination of the agreement forced Chevron to purchase furniture from another supplier at a higher price.
Chevron began an action to sue Fine Furniture for damages of $700,000, being compensation for the increased cost of having to buy its furniture elsewhere. The action by Chevron was discontinued when Fine Furniture paid to Chevron $400,000 to settle the matter.
Advise Chevron as to whether the amount received as compensation constitutes assessable income, and if so what type of assessable income it would be.
If you think you need further information, explain what that information is and why it is needed.
Summary
This question belongs to taxation law and discusses about a company’s received compensation constitutes assessable income or not.

I needed help writing the solution to the assignment on how to derive the equilibrium constant expression for a protein crosslinking reaction using mass spectrometry. But i just did not know where to get the relevant solution material. Thanks to the chemical equilibrium assignment expert at HwA I was able to write the assignment with all the relevant research work and also get the accurate solution.

I was really stuck with the analysis of a work of William Faulkner in the final year of my course and then I approached HwA and got excellent response. Later that year, I also took their help for writing the book review of Booker’s Prize winning novel “God of Small Things†for my college.

Rebecca Taylor Student
I was struggling with the deadlines of my assignments and increasingly felt at a loss with my Asian Legal Studies assignments. 24 hours in a day were not enough to do the research and structure the assignment essay. At TheReliableTutor the tutors understand my deadlines and I have never had them delay.

My story with HwA started on a mid-term day, during my graduation as I was stuck with an economics assignment solution. From then onwards I constantly have obtained help from HwA and they have never disappointed me ever.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
