    How we can divide the partnership loss?
    i wrote equal proportion. (but i read it now as in proportion to their capital)

    whether loss in equal proportion is also correct?

    Yes you have to proportion the losses as well in proportion to their capital provided they had an agreement to do so (like in this case) else the losses are to be divided equally. Hope it make sense

    Good luck.

    Thanks… I think this is how I interpreted it… no limitation of liability for any of the partners – so Jo does have to pay an additional £500 to settle the outstanding debts of the partnership (as well as her £1000 capital).

    To be honest, I thought about this one for ages and then decided to go this way because the figures worked out easier (didn’t think the examiner would use an example with odd amounts).

    dont worry mate , you are absolutely right , i have checked the same question on BPP revision kit. even if its a General partnership, the profit and loss are allocate on the basis of profit sharing agreement if there is one.

    the order of paying debts

    1) external debts – 9000

    assets – 5000

    external debts left – 4000

    next one is to pay loan by a partner( internal debt) – 1000

    no assets left , so it adds on to general debt

    total debt left- 4000+ 1000 = 5000

    divided according to profit sharing ratio

    1) 60%= 3000
    2) 30%= 1500
    3) 10% = 500

    any one with this answer and good explanation is going to score 10 marks. its confirmed

    check BPP p& r kit question 72 or 73

    hope it make sense

    Come on everybody. We’re trainee accountants and aren’t expected just to parrot back the text book – this isn’t A-levels. I’d not heard of causation before either, but it seems pretty obvious that it’s got something to do with the cause – anybody who said something sensible should hope to get at least a point.
    ‘But-for’ was in my notes and I remember it from a lecture I heard so there’s no excuse for point b), and they pretty much gave the answer for c) being that Novus Actus Intervenians means breaking the chain of causation.
    I reckon the examiner wants to see if people are able to think independently and come up with something logical – it’s what we’ll be expected to do in the world of work anyway, plus he’s got to throw in some prizewinner questions to reward those people who read around, and not just one text book. There are no textbooks in the industry.

    Thoughts?

    well said

    Novus actus interveniens mainly 3 points

    Natural events
    action by claimant itself
    third party

    you are wrong, refer to case law sidebottom v kershaw. Once a director is competing or being dishonest in the form of the case scenario, the other members could compel him to sell his shares because its for the best interest of the comany. However the situation in the Dafen Tinplate case is unlawful

    yes you are right AOA can be altered to force members to sell their shares in exceptional cases where

    members are competing against the company
    member defrauding

    Dear Sangria
    I believe your answer is not correct. Since the partnership had been formed under the Partnership Act 1890, it was a mere General Partnership. In a General Partnership the partners are fully liable of the firm’s debts and their liability is joint and several (apart from any provision and agreement between the parties).
    As a result the 3 partners are fully liable for the debts.

    What is your idea on this?

    No you are not right. she has the right answer. you are right in saying members cant limit their liability to a certain amount ( fixed amount) but they can divide profit and losses in proportion to their agreement.

    If you have BPP revision kit go to question 72

    hope it make sense

    I did the same as you Sangria £3000, £1500 and £500 but havent got a clue if it is right

    I think that was quite tricky 🙁

    I did the same

    Bribing

    Definition?
    bribing offences
    Receiving
    offering
    bribing foreign official
    corporate failure to prevent bribing

    DEFENCES

    special defences available for armed forces
    secret services

    Causation

    Link between the chain of events which caused the damage or loss

    but for

    Causation by fact- physical link between the breach and loss, But for the defendants actions , damage would not have occured
    Barnet vs chelsea

    Novus actus interveniens

    Act which break this link

    Natural event
    Third party- knighley vs jones
    Claimant- mckew vs holland

    lEGAL RELATIONS

    presunption
    rebuttal

    Domestic and social arrangements

    Commercial arrangements

    scenario questions

    8- a)Suffiecint consideration- normal contractual obligations

    b) anticipatory breach
    market rule- sue for extra cost only

    9 director removal- ordinary resolution

    court order- misconduct, indictable offence related to company running( cdda 1986), insider dealing could be charged

    2) secretary dismissal- summary dismissal possible, gross misconduct.

    AOA not enforecable by third party , eley vs positive life company( no longer a director)

    change AOA- special resolution
    proper purpose

    court wont approve unless

    member competing
    member defrauding

    evident member defrauding

    10) partenr ship cessation

    order- pay external debts first
    parner loans second
    members capital

    profit or loss divided as per agreement
    total debt- 9000+ 1000
    assets – 5000
    debt left- 5000

    divided in the ratio
    3000: 1500 : 500 as per agreement

    fingers crossed

    I wasn’t too sure about this. I went with grossing it up, as I had been so used to it when doing past questions. Is the 50K a year pension limit a net or gross limit? I assumed it must have been a net limit. But thinking of it now, it was probably 40K that we needed to extend the band by.

    yes its a gross value

    per annum means yearly, every year. As the product’s lifecycle is 3 years you have to multiply all numbers by 3.

    in reaching the decision whether to expand or not ( what the question asks for) its not relevant since u will have to multiply both sides by 3 . So even if you don’t multiply by 3 , you will get the same answer. May be loose 1 mark

    Hope it make sense

    i multiplied the figures by the inflation rate im sure we had to do that regardless of what the notes said? and yes the decision tree figures needed to be multiplied by 3

    You dont have to multiply it by 3 since all the numbers are for per annum

    Yeh, without expansion the number of members would go down to 5,250 and op. costs per member would remain the same at £80 per member. Therefore, if we did “nothing” the total profit = 3 x 5,250 x (720-80) = $10,080,000.

    i think you dont have to multiply by 3 since all the figures are for per annum

    Yeh, car and fuel benefit were for part of the year. 5 months I think, cant remember. He also got AMAP from his employer for the first few months for using his private car, so that was a big hint there that you had to apportion the car and fuel benefit.

    Thanks for the reply

    How much did you extend your band rate by 40k or 50k. if you extend by 50k , we have to tax the extra 10k which is over the annual allowance ( gross)?/

    Re the shares Charlotte is right, you can’t roll over the excess of proceeds less original cost so the fact that the daughter paid £4 was relevant.

    Re pension, the BR band is extended by the GROSS personal pension contr so £50k. The HR band was extended by the same but he earned under this so there was no tax at the HR.

    You cant extend the band rate by 50000, because 40 k is already a grossed up value.Annual allowances are always grossed up values

    Hope it make sense

    Some people did not OPS from Employment income and DID not take extend band by Personal Pension Scheme.They said that Maximum allowance has already been claimed.

    Hi Charlotte,

    I think you cant extend the band rate by 50000, as 40,000 is the maximum GROSS annual allowance which means he will be only paying 40000*( 80/100) actually , so you can only extend the band rate by 40000, Otherwise you will have to pay tax for 10000.

    Hope it make sense

    Here are the answers I put down

    1) % for the car was 32%. Apportioned the car and fuel benefit for the part of the year where the car/petrol was provided.
    AMAP wouldn’t have been claimable to travel from home to work, but allowed for the other 2. Minus what was given to him, to the AMAP to get a benefit.
    Loan benefit- loan outstanding at start of year plus loan outstanding at the end of year, divided by 2, times ORI. Minus the actual interest that he paid, giving the loan benefit.
    Occupational pension deducted from Gross Salary.
    Personal pension he would be able to invest in- 10,000 for the 3 years b/f and 10,000 for the current year. Thus, Basic Rate Band extended 40,000 times 100/80.

    Excellent , could you confirm whether the car wasn’t available for whole period? i don remeber apportioning it?
    No Personal Allowance available as ANI was over 116,000
    Holiday letting treated as property income.

    NIC 1 A on loan, car fuel and AMAP benefit.

    10% starting rate for Rhoda, and reduction in her Personal Age Allowance as her Net Income is more than 25400.

    2) Balancing charge on the special pool,
    One of the car was eligible for FYA.
    3 associates (4 including the parent)
    Group Loss relief of 64000 was the only one they could claim.
    Dividends from the company that they had a 40% stake in, included as FII at * (100/90)
    Tax was in the marginal rate

    VAT output of 300/6= 500
    Impaired debt (wasn’t too sure on this), was recoverable as it was exactly 6 months since payment was due?
    Had to subtract UK customer entertainment from input VAT figure.
    No adjustment for overseas customer entertainment, repairs, etc?

    3 a) 6625 shares

    b) No Rollover relief on warehouse 1 as sale proceeds greatly higher than re-investment
    Some rollover relief on warehouse 2, and some gain (proceeds that werent reinvested)

    c) Enterpreneur relief for one of the persons, so 10% for him, and 28% for the other. 2000 shares valued at 2000 pounds for the first person, and cost of shares for the second person was 2000/3000*acquisition cost
    Tax saving was around 3000-4000ish pounds.

    4) a) first yr assesment for 11 months till 31st march. this was also overlap profits, other years CYB
    Final 14 months period, WDA given for 18%*14/12.
    Overlap Profits of 2 months deducted to bring the taxable months to 12.

    b) 2 CAPs. The first for 12 months, than for 2 months. WDA and AIA for the 2 months proportionally reduced.

    5) Reduce gift of house by Annual exemption of 2 years (6000 pounds) plus marriage exemption of 5000 pounds. This gives the Gross chargeable transfer. Death tax on PET would be GCT less NRB of 325,000. IHT @ 40% and taper relief @ 60 %.
    Half of the death estate was exempt, the other half chargeable at 40%.
    ii) Tax on house payable by son

    c) Income tax on rents (less repairs, less insurance)
    CGT on proceeds less legal fees, the value of house when inherited and capital expenditure.

    Anyone else got something similar? Any feedback would be appreciates .

    Excellent , could you confirm whether the car wasn’t available for whole period? i don remeber apportioning it?

    Question 2 UK TAX : Capital allowance bf figures (TWDV) then had sales and cost…….did people use all the sales value? …..
    and question also said the cost has previously been included (does this mean we ignore cost correct?) …..

    One of the sell I put into main pool and other into special.

    The purchase:

    One had FYA 100% the other was just main pool?

    I am sorry but one of them should have gone into SPR since it specifies this was added on to SPR when bought

    Hope it helps

    Good luck

    Question 2: I think there was also only two Zeros. Rest were all Disallowed including pens/customer/overseas entertain.

    Please confirm someone 🙂

    I can sleep better lol.

    I think that we had to find the liability – this was roughy:

    Pension 8000
    Interest (received GROSS) 21600
    Less PA: (10500)
    2710 @ 10%
    remainder at 20%

    There should not have been a repayment.

    u wont have the full personal allowance since his ANI exceeds 25400, u have to make adjustments as such..
