Please help me on it as I am having trouble working through this.
Show me your workings but remember that the annual benefit is computed as 20% of the MV of the asset when first made available for private use and when the asset is transferred to him we take the higher of the OMV or the tax wdv of the asset at that date and then deduct any price paid
Sir, is my calculation right?
Use of asset:20% of £3600=£720
Gifts of asset: higher of £1000 or £2000-20%of £3600 multiplies 17/12(£980)
Therefore, the total amount of taxable benefits would be £1720
