Abstract

Business and other compensation payments awarded by courts as a result of litigation generally recognise the impact that taxation will have on the recipient, ensuring that the recipient is no worse off as a result of the incidence of tax (the Gourley Principle). In this paper, Tom Delany initially reviews the operation of the Gourley Principle in general income tax jurisprudence in Australia and then goes on to specifically review the operation of the principle in a goods and services tax context.
