Jeffrey used to work for Beqa Island Resort 2 years ago. He had recently won $10,000 in a television show called Dominoes Gold. Jeffrey consults his tax agent and is advised that such receipts are tax-free. After one year, Jeffrey decides to invest this money in a money laundering scheme which gives him $50,000 in profit. He consults his tax agent again and is advised that he may be liable to pay tax on such a lump-sum gain. Consequently, Jeffrey contacts his former boss at Beqa Island Resort and conspires to organize his farewell party. He comes with an agreement whereby the $50,000 lump-sum gain will be distributed to the present 100 employees. All these employees will be invited to Jeffrey's farewell party where they will grant $500 each as a gratitude payment to Jeffrey. Question: Evaluate Jeffrey's conspiracy with respect to taxation.
