Hello,
-P Ltd purchased a freehold building on 1 January 2019, and it will be empty until 31 March 2019. The building is to let from 1 April 2019 at a monthly rent of £640 and on 15 March P Ltd received 3 month’s rent in advance. On 1 January 2019 P ltd paid insurance of £480 for the year ended 31 Dec 2019. P Ltd has a year end 31 March 2019.
1. In the answer insurance has been calculated as follows:
-480 x 3/12=£120.2. Could you explain how 3 months has been used?
February 29, 2020 at 4:54 am #563496This is corporate tax so an accruals basis applies to property income and hence 3 months of insurance expense is incurred during the accounting period to 31 March 2019

Would they be considering the property income recd as advance in March in the year 2018/19?March 3, 2020 at 7:22 am #563804As I said above this is corporation tax not income tax – we prepare CT computations for accounting periods NOT tax years
