    I am assuming it is the link theory that is getting them deleted.

    It’s not. The guy who made the threads deleted his OT profile

    I am waiting on ATX as well. Considering this was the 1st session for the new format I cant see them wanting to start off on a bad note.

    ACCA love to throw spanner’s in the work during new formats lol

    Why would anyone forfeit? You won’t gain anything except extra time needed to complete the qualification.

    Just sit the professional papers and study more for longer. That’s obviously the logical choice.

    Was it 3 maybe? And a separate one had about vat groups. Definitely rushed in places and starting to doubt my answers!

    Yeah I can recall a separate vat group question. I’m sure you did fine most of your answers seem reasonable to me!

    Vat implications of registering voluntarily- I said avoids penalty interest from registering late, they can disguise size, they can reclaim input, it wojtceffect competitiveness as it said all their customers are vat registered

    Yes I did 230(200) then wda 8% and 160 (0)aia then wda 18%. Then just wda on the TWDV Bf in year 2

    I think we should have covered the integral features first sadly I didn’t think about this til after. It’s only 8% wda so better tax savings to use Aia first.

    I did 160k off Aia then the rest of building and put integral features in special rate for wda.

    Second year totalled 106000 I thought so was a restricted to 8850 PA. I used the aia against the special rate. Then wda on remainder. Then wda in year 2 on both

    I must have picked up the wrong figure then ?

    No we don’t require to calculate capital allowance for two years in question 2 Cause building and plant and machinery purchased on the same year

    But you only get AIA for 200k a year acquisitions was 160k plus I think 230k?

    On the corporation tax, question#2 they have asked you for one year capital allowances cause building and plant and equipment purchased on the same year

    I did two years because the aia didn’t cover the full amount so some wda was needed for 2nd year

    @jennie1984 said:
    I wasn’t sure what to do about salaries. I carried back on opening year relief and in doing so this also allowed the reinstatentnt of the restricted personal allowance of the second year

    I don’t remember a restricted personal allowance? The earliest two years was £80k and £90k with no dividends so I’d assume there would be not restriction under £100k?

    Must have missed something

    Small enterprise for R&D so 100% relief plus another 130% is what I’ve done in this part which I hope is right

    Excluded expenditure on consumables and rent of building? Plus the contractor?

    No sure if that is correct

    I worked out an income tax liability on the EMI shares as the option value of £2.30 was less than the mv of £2.60 not sure if this was correct.

    I think the question was on disposal proceeds after CGT but I think income tax is liable at exercise if the price is lower than value you get income taxed on difference?

    The question that really got me was the laptop cash lump sum and rent paid.

    Didn’t know where I was going in that question

    @cat2436 said:
    I couldnt decide whether the salaries were already in the loss or not so just guessed and took them out again. Yes then i used the loss against the oldest of 3 years first and mentioned the part of his personal allowance lost in the second to last year could be reinstated.

    Part a of that question i only had a very small tax liability against the emi shares maybe 2000 ish so after tax proceeds were in the £70-80k region

    My mind blanked on emi shares choose the value at £2.60 option price for base cost?

    @cat2436 said:
    I did the same as you. I had no tax for either company for first two years and still quite a big loss carried forward.

    Can anyone remember any other answers? For q4 i deducted the 40k salaries from the 47k loss to make the loss 87k before spliting it 3 ways, no clue if tht was right. I then put 4 months into 18/19 and 8 months into 19/20?!

    I assumed the losses took into account the salary although thinking back probably should have read it carefully. I also carried the loss back 3 years to the higher rate earning salaries of 80k and 90k but I’m not sure if this is correct at all.
