Cogratulation on your marks(81) that is excellent. Can you give me some guide line, how you did it.As i mentioned in my previous post, I did classes with Kaplan. Plus I did put a lot of hours revising and practicing the questions. It’s such a broad subject and the syllabus are huge!
There are key area that you have to be comfortable with, eg personal/self employed taxes, opening/closing year rules for self employed/partnership, change of accounting date, self-employed vs company. These are guaranted to come in every exam. There are also a lot of easy marks available and make sure you start with those questions, eg ethics and VAT.
PSC (IR35) hasn’t been examined, very likely it will come up next time, prictice that! Group of companies, loss groups, CGT groups, company leaving/joining the group, especially that is making the losses, SSE, DGC.
Inheritance tax and CGT on gift! Practice that many times!
Asi said, i put lots of hours into studing this time. It’s a very technical subject and you do need to know a lot to pass. Having said that, i did not feel very prepared when i sat an exam but there are a lot of easy marks. There are up to 3 marks available in every exam on NI and employment allowance, 4-5 on ethics and 4-8 on VAT. Make sure you don’t lose on those!
Good luck! If I could do it with full time job and 2 children, you can do it too!
