Question

Lucy is the Finance Director for Capital Products Pty Ltd. Lucy was previously located at the head  office in Adelaide but is currently working from the Canadian office, having relocated there on 1  August 2020. Capital Products anticipate that Lucy will head up the Canadian office for one year with  an option to stay for another one year. Paula’s contract with Capital Products entitles her to a salary  of $600,000 for 2020/21. This is paid at the rate of $50,000 per month.  

Lucy sells her shares in Australian companies before she leaves Australia and makes a capital gain of  $16,000. She makes another capital gain of $28,000 in January 2021 when she sells shares in  Canadian companies. Luc’s husband and two small children will remain in Adelaide. Lucy will rent a  studio apartment in Canada and will keep the Adelaide home. 

Question 

Discuss Lucy’s status (resident or not) for Australian tax purposes for 2020/21 and the tax  implications of the transfer to Canada.
