    see what i understood from capital gain grp is that suppose – actually this a qtn from kaplan kit where i made a mistake so im using the same example.
    cedar lts had trading loss of 19700 nd cgt of 111996. timber ltd is the 100% parent of cedar ltd which has trading loss of 20800 and 8800.

    what i did was now for cedar bcoz the trading loss assessment is nil the taxable total profit becomes 111996. as its a grp timber can surrender its trading loss right so i set off that. but i thought that the capital loss of 8800 cannot be transfered just ike trading loss bcoz this isnt notional transfer of asset( like no asset being sold with a loss by timber nd election made to treat a that asset having being sold by cedar ) . but in solution theyve set off that 8800 also.

    one more thing the qtn also mentioned that we shld assume all claims nd elections r made. so shld we assume that they made a notional asset transfer election?

    but is this transfer just like how we grp relieve the trading losses or shld an election be made ? like on study hub theres this thing called notional intra grp transfer of assets for which an election shld be made.. is this notional trasnfer nd normal capital loss surrendering 2 different things?

    i am really sorry for the huge amount of qtns i’m asking u coz i know its really burdensome to answer so many and im really grateful for ur help coz im doing self study and hv no one to approach to clarify my doubts.

    this qtn is actually from study hub practise qtns, see as per the rules of annual nd cash acctng scheme, there shld be no offence made vat returns or payments. so i chose the ans as both option 1 nd 3 r correct, but study hub says only option one is correct.

    A company needs to be up to date with its VAT payments, and with its VAT returns, however there is not a retrospective test. this is the justification theyve given for y statemnt 3 is not correct.

    im still confused as to y option 3 is not correct

    this is another iht qtn.
    Kendra owns the following assets:

    A property valued at £970,000. The property is no longer occupied by Kendra, but would qualify for the residence nil rate band. If it were disposed of during the tax year 2024-25 the disposal would result in a chargeable gain of £174,000. Kendra has made other disposals in the year utilising the annual exempt amount.
    Building society deposits of £443,000.
    A life assurance policy on her own life. The policy has an open market value of £210,000, and proceeds of £225,000 will be received following Kendra’s death.
    None of the above valuations are expected to change in the near future. The cost of Kendra’s funeral will be £14,000.

    Under the terms of her will, Kendra has left her entire estate to her children.

    The nil rate band of Kendra’s husband was fully utilised when he died ten years ago.

    The nil rate band for the tax years 2009–10 onwards is £325,000.

    the qtn is how much is chargeable estate

    i deducted 175k for rnrb as it said t qualifies . but in the solution they havent . y so. also here they mentioned husband’s nrb is utilised , then does that indicate that his rnrb is still left so we can use is rnrb?
