    I have been reading comments on another platform and some people say they didnt make any reccomendations for new measures for q1 as the q said. The board dont want more changes to the report as too many changes had been made previously… I made reccomendations though….. Think im wrong now.. Anyone make measure reccomendations?

    For the balanced score card.. I recommended other measures that linked better to misson.. Like eva instesd of roce.. Concluded that it represented a balanced view.. As it had quantative and qualatative info and planning and control elements.. Hope that was the right track!

    Thank you Katie, I am studying with a college and completed the revision on saturday.. The lecturer didnt give his opinion on what he thought might come up so was a bit disappointed in that..
    i think Past papers are key…. i passed ATX first time in december and it was amazing how passed papers were repeated with slight differences.. Best of luck to you if you are doing it!

    Gifts from Aunt go under GT2, so their GT3 can still be utilized.<br> Favourite Niece/nephew relief allows the threshold to go from GT2 > GT1 , thats why i know it should be GT2 for the gifts from the aunt.

    Think it was the mothers aunt as I recall so GT3… I think!!

    for Q 4, the second disposal, was that the holding co exemption? i think the first disposal was a clawback of the Gain that they would have originally got in teh group..
    For the gift/inheritance i gave your man PPR Relief, said in my reccommendation, they should get married so that the prop can be given to his wife with no tax triggered, and the children can get GT1, Didnt give them CT3 as they already used it up with the firs give they got from their mothers aunt, but dunno if i was right…

    yea i thought the 35 marker was tough enough… against the clock too… think the first q was about the individuals buying the property or the company.. i said the company should sell it as they could use the loss the indivuals cant cos its ringfenced… i didnt give ER or RR to the guy selling the the premises in Galway? but gave ER to him selling his shares on liquidation… what did yee come up with?

    @kbourne said:
    Just a question for all. Seeing a few people saying they went ahead and did the impairment review…but the requirement only said that the directors want to know how to determine the fair value so they can do the impairment test? I thought the numbers for VIU were a trick as we weren’t asked to find the recoverable amount only the FV right? I quoted highest and best use but said it couldnt be applied due to lack of planning permission?

    that’s what I did too.. ?
