    Can anyone remember q3 questions? I’m having a panic about not passing. It’s my final exam and really don’t want to have to go back!

    For that pension question, did no one else think that the maximum she could contribute to the scheme was £80k as this was the only earnings that were relevant for tax purposes? The unfurnished property income would not qualify. I only realised at the end so didn’t get to adjust the basic rate limits to £80k instead of £90k. 🙁

    Pretty sure I’ve failed this paper…again! Such bad time management in combination with poor technical knowledge on some bits of the syllabus. 🙁

    I must admit I did think this but I had not done a practice on this so I just went with the 90k but I think you are correct!

    I did it but dont remember the answer. What was the rollover relief for the intangible asset ?

    I did not have a clue, I just worked it out as a normal roll over relief in hope I might get easy marks for indexation allowance etc!!

    What did you say about overseas? That it was classed as a branch and not a sub, therefore not affecting bands as not an associate. Corporation tax payable in uk but would get DTR on uk amount as overseas was 23%? And not to elect??

    in 2014/15 it was £40 AA hence no unused from previous year. Only 2 years unused £10 k each hence 30k additional charge

    So you put 30k as the AA charge in income tax and extended bands by 90k? I did this.

    @puritee said:
    No Abbi..I got AA of 20k taxed at 45% to get charge. (50k-40k) x 3 = 30k + 40k = 70k available. Excess = 90k – 70k = 20k

    I am probably wrong but I thought one year he’d used all his allowance. Can’t remember the exact question now. What did you put for part C? IHT 2 ways to not pay it?

    Did anyone else think the last part on EIS/SEIS on inheritance tax was asking for discussion of BPR? These shares qualify for BPR?

    Yes, I put as long as they were held for 2 years they would get BPR relief as they are unquoted shares.

    Of course!!! This got me puzzled but I did not work it out. Did you get an AA to be included in the income tax of 30k?

    Did any one think q1 company car was a close company and therefore treated as a dividend. Grossed up, put in her income tax comp and then given a 10% tax credit. No class 1a NIC?

    Can anyone remember how many marks were available for the systematic & unsystematic risk question with regards to portfolio theory and CAPM?

    <cite> @geteveryone said:</cite>
    Yeah, I also got 6625 shares.

    2650 is just 10,600/4, so it doesn’t take into account the actual gain.

    ie. Proceeds
    (Cost)
    _____
    Gain
    (AE)
    _____
    Chargeable.

    I don’t know if 6625 is right, but I used algebra to calculate the answer.

    4X – 2.4X – 10600 = 0

    So far, I know I mucked up the Pension Scheme portion of question 1 and I also didn’t realise Rhonda’s BSI was gross, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was wrong – pays to read the question attentively.

    <cite> @charlotteo said:</cite>
    I would say yes, deduct the occupational pension contribution from his salary in the employment income working (only his contribution, not his employer’s) as this is a tax free benefit.

    And because his personal pension contribution was £40k, yes, you’d add a grossed up amount of £50k when extending the tax bands.

    But I thought if the market value was higher than the sale we took the market value & not the actual sales proceeds?

    The market value was £6.40
    She sold to daughter 4.00 -irrelevant
    Cost 2.4
    Actual gain £4
    Annual exemption £10600/ £4 gain = 2650

    same here! i just need 50 marks and i will be fine……lol

    I am hoping you are right as mine was very similar!!

    Q5. Did you give the son PRR relief at Gain x 36 months exempt/ 67 months I think – off the top of my head!? I did so I hope that’s right! What did people have the gross PET charge at??

    Also Q3. I did different. Market value of shares £6.40 less cost £2.40 = £4 £10600 annual exemp/£4 gain per share = 2560 shares… But I know a lot of people are disagreeing with this!

    VAT output on fuel Scale I did the amount given divided by 120 x 20. Can’t remember the amount given?!

    I put the debt was not allowable for recovery until the next VAT return.

    If the VAT return was late I said the default surcharge would begin its 12months again & as this was the 2nd default within the last return being late there would be a charge of 2% charge on the tax payable (as long as it was over £400- which it was!)

    I think: when you calculate a gain involving subject matter that was sold at a below market value – as was the case here – you take market value as the deemed proceeds. So for 1 share:

    Deemed proceeds £4
    Cost <u>(£2.40)</u>
    <b>Gain to tax now £1.60</B>

    £10,600 / £1.60 = 6625 shares

    I agree with your workings but wasn’t the market value £6.40 the cost £2.40 (she sold to her daughter for £4 which is irrelevant. ) Leaving a gain of £4 per share. 10600/4 = 2560??

    How did you get to this? I’m probably wrong. I took the deemed proceeds I.e the market value, instead of the price she sold to her daughter. Worked out the gain per share to be £4 on this basis & then did the annual allowance of £10600/4
