Section A just killed me. Lots of Questions regarding due dates. Section B and Section C was ok. Will be glad if I get 50 as I don’t wanna be stuck with a subject which is not relevant to me.

Section A had many Questions related to tax due date and related to Tax administration which was difficult for me. Section B had 3 sections related to VAT, IHT & Capital Gain tax. They were easier compare to section A. Section C was fair. There was questions related income tax, recalculation of Corporation tax with some adjustment and some questions related to IHT and capital gain tax.

Hi I had this question too, I did 9900 – 100 (selling costs)

so:

5/3 x (9800 – 6000)

I think, if I remember rightly.

i found this exam super hard!! The very first q nearly caught me out, it was employment benefit on a property, think the property was bought in 2009, there was an improvement in 2014 and the new market value was 1st aug 2018, i ALMOST deducted improvement from new market value when calculating the additional charge.

I also got this and used gross proceeds (9,900-6,000) x 5/3 = 6,500.

Agree. Was not 100% confident on many answers. I know I have got 5 wrong in section A already and I have made silly mistakes ie. not using taper relief in IHT, not adjusting income for child tax charge by gross pension contributions and also forgetting that index allowance cannot increase a loss. Bad day at the office for me.. praying done enough to get 50.

I thought it was a lame exam. No capital allowances, barely any profit adjustment – they didn’t include any of the fun stuff!
I thought Section A and B was ok, although I made some dumb mistakes too…
We’ll see in 6 weeks.

Did someone get a question (IHT) where a woman paid nine installments for school for someone, gave a cash to its niece, etc? Can you remember the solution?

Do I need to remember the Car Co2 percentage or they are provided in the exam table?

You don’t need to learn whole table. Instead you need to learn a patern for calculation. It’s easy. E.g. if car emission 148g, the percentage will be calculated in the following manner:
I (145*-55)/5=19
*first lower number which can be devided by 5
II 19+14*=33
*always use 14 because that the value in the table for petrol driven car which has emission 55g

So in this case appropriate percentage would be 33%, or 37% (increase given percentage by 4 p.p.) if the car has diesel emmision or does note meet RED2 standards…

Hope this is helpfull.

There was selling costs for the chattel, therefore correct answer was £6333

Part 2 of example 3 has not deducted the selling costs. It has taken the £9k gross proceeds.

Oh yes sorry! I was thinking it was the calc for cost > £6000 but sold for <£6000 as that allows selling costs.

Ah well hopefully I didn’t need those two marks 🙂
