    Feel ok coming out of that, question 1 was good – did anyone include IHT and Capital gains in part B ? When they asked about when the taxes were due ?

    there was no degrouping charge as it was not sold at no gain no loss… therefore only the cost would’ve been indexed that’s my understanding

    and if it was sold on 01st March 2018 they would’ve been part of the 75% gains ground therefore no sdlt tax and no chargeable gains as would’ve been sold at no gain no loss

    hi I didn’t include that as I’m pretty sure didn’t ask for the cgt and IHT in part b so didn’t include it especially the IHT as that was part c of the question cgt thought about it but then didn’t add it in you’ll still be credited for it whether you have or not put it in

    Brill I put no degrouping charge as nil gain nil loss
    Was the BPR a trick question as I didn’t think any BPR on investment assets but not enough info given
    I thought the close company was a good one but not sure I did enough

    wild ltd didn’t sell the building at cost therefore it wouldn’t have been a degrouping charge unless I read it wrong ?

    There were a few tricky parts, as you would expect, however overall there was a good range of questions and nothing horrible!

    I am wrecked mentally after that.

    Now I need to try and not have a meltdown in the next 6 weeks waiting on the results as it is my third attempt at p6.

    Yunusmulla, I did question 4 I found the difference was one was a basic rate tax payer one was a higher rate tax payer?

    Then for after tax cost to the company I did original cost of the 2 vehicles/3 years class 1a NIC then deducted the sale proceeds they then sold them for.

    It said it paid total £100,000 dividend in the year so I split it 20% and 3% for their holding (don’t know if this is right)

    Also it said after tax cost. The company would have had to pay class 1a for the 3 years it provided the benefit.

    This was my 3rd attempt at p6 and pretty sure I’ve failed again so don’t take my word for it on this question, it’s just how I answered it.

    I need to do P3 in June (and hope I pass or inlops my P1) then I’ll decide in sept whether or not to do p6 again.

    I worked back to front did question 4/3/2/1

    Really messed up q 2 and then panicked on q1 and even though I started q1 with the right amount of time for it I kept making mistakes and starting again so wasted 20mins and then struggled to finish on time. Really annoyed with myself

    I had thought they were both higher rate so wouldn’t the cost be the same and the rates ?

    For question 4, it looked to me like one was employed and the other wasn’t.

    For the one not employed this would be charged as dividend income.

    For the one employed I worked out the income charged and class 1A NIC
