Chapter 9: Example 3

Hello Tutor,

In your demonstration of the solution to this example:

“Gerald’s employer purchased a TV for his use on 1 June 2015, costing £900. On 6 April 2016 Gerald was given the TV by his employer (its
market value then being £250).
Calculate the benefit assessable on Gerald in respect of the gift, on the basis of:
(a) if Gerald made no payment for the TV”

you stated that the market value of the asset at the date it was gifted to Gerald was £900, but in the example it is stated as £250. Please clarify, I’m confused.

Thanks.
