Hi Sir,
Im just trying to get my head around basis periods, I feel i do understand it but when i go over examples 2, 3 and 4 again from chapter 6 i seem to get confused with overlap profits or how to deal with the second years. I will go through more questions from my KAPLAN text book however I was wondering is this only likely to be an objective question, is it a topic just to gain an understanding or could it be worth a lot of marks in the exam?
Thanks
January 11, 2021 at 5:06 pm #605543It is impossible to say whether a specific topic would only appear in a section A question or whether it might appear in section C but the rules for opening and closing years of assessment are core and need to be learned – go back to the lectures to see how the basic rules listed are applied – bottom line you need to learn the rules and practice them!

Plus im now mid way through Trade losses and it has helped :). I hope my question didnt sound negative as I didnt mean to sound negative
