Farmer A is a lucrative wine farmer in the Western Cape. To expand farming operations, A entered into an agreement with S, the owner of the neighbouring farm under which S would sell 50 acres of the farm to A. Instead of payment in cash, the agreement entailed the transfer of 30 000 already bottled wine which S plans to resell. The market value of 300 bottles of wine (a 225 litre barrel) amounted to R10 500 with bottling at R46 per bottle. The price for 300 bottled wine thus amounted to R24 300 [R10 500 + R13 800 (R300 × R46)]. The cost of the 30 000 bottles of wine was R2 430 000 (R24 300 × 100). The market value of the 50 acres of land was R3 million at the time of the barter transaction. determine the amount to be included in Farmer A’s taxable income?
