Deferred Gain
The question does not make sense - what is it asking?
The question is:
Calculate the amount of the gain which can be deferred if a claim for group ROR is made and explain when the deferred gain will become chargeable.
The amount that can be defered is proceeds minus cost
The gain is chargeable when the second asset is sold, or if the asset is intangible then the earlier of - 10 years, when it is sold or when it ceases to be used in the business
Thank you!
no worries - hope you got on ok in your exam
