    So how did everything think the exam went ?

    The first question scared me at start with the wording I could not think of what it meant by unincorporated business , sole trader should been better way put it and could not think of any more issues apart from loss relief and fact thought would sell in UK , what did everybody say about the money he was taking from the company.

    I thought question 2 was straight forward expect get close 20 marks on that one .

    What did people write about the loan between companies apart from transfer pricing rules I was stumped

    Also completly forgot what was the vat scheme , I can say goodbye to any professional marks ha

    Hi Arm2250:

    I think that loan to director one also implied that it should charge the company the same rate as dividend rate 32.5% because otherwise company can avoid the high dividend tax rate and pay dividends as director’s loan for no tax?

    I’m completely lost in question 4 though. No idea how to use the numbers given. I think it was also expected to mention that the maximum non trading loss relief is the lower of £50,000 and 10% of total profit ?

    Rollover relief in terms of patent to Durn was very confusing. 6.5 marks portion of Q1 was also very confusing

    Well that was absolutely awful.
    Why is it when you leave the exam room you all of a sudden know exactly what the question was asking but when you’re in there you just have a brain fart!!

    Think you had to mention to add degrouping charge to the sales proceeds as NGNL transfer was made within 6 years of sale.

    What did people write about sole trader keeping his building on incorporation? I said that the incorporation relief didn’t apply anymore but not sure if that’s right :/

    Degrouping charge added onto the sale proceeds but gain will probably be exempt under SSE

    I said the same that incorporation relief would not be available but there could be ER as it’s a chargeable asset

    In Q2 was she supposed to pay the remittance basis charge?
    I thought she wasn’t resident for long enough

    Correct me if I’m wrong. But she left UK feb 17. So would have been uk resident 16/17
    Didn’t come back till May 20 So uk resident 2020/21

    So non UK resident
    17/18
    18/19
    19/20

    So was only a UK resident for 6 of the previous 9 years. So no remittance basis charge
    Atleast that’s what I have put

    Remittance basis wasn’t available for her?
    She was deemed domiciled in uk as have stayed in uk since 1999 until 2017?

    You’re right. 15 of the last 20 years. Deemed domicile so remittance only if she remits her income and is more than £2000 otherwise if she remits it

    Ah god….. I think I may have missed out a whole decade now !!
    I did write about the 15 out 20 years, but went into say she wasn’t so she wasn’t UK domiciled

    Ha. Have to love the exam pressure

    I wouldn’t mind. But I know that area inside out. So a stupid mistake. Hoping I’ve achieved the marks around it and if anything just wasted more time than marks

    Hey guys. Sorry still thinking about the exam and that 15 out of 20 years , suddenly thinking isn’t there a clause that means Something like ….

    If there is no tax year beginning after the 5 April 2017 and before the relevant tax year in which there were a UK resident, then the condition wouldn’t be satisfied?

    Maybe I am wrong but I think SSE was not available as it was not share to share transfer. if it was then only god can save me from failing.
