December 4, 2012 at 2:40 pm #110000IT salary was £15,100 over eight months as far as I can remember. So £10,667 was salary – which gave me a vastly overpaid PAYE? So tax was refundable? Anyone else get this?
December 4, 2012 at 2:41 pm #1100012 wanted the CT computation so yes it would have wanted the CT liability.

i ended up with something like 26k payable after PAYE, Savings and Dividend credits
December 4, 2012 at 2:49 pm #110003Was it £15k PER month and not an ANNUAL salary? Oh dear … can anyone confirm?

Anyone else get this?i was getting an overpaid PAYE but by mistake i took the amount of 15100*8=120800 as 12080 🙂 i don’t remember whether it was 15100 for 8 months or per month.
December 4, 2012 at 2:54 pm #110009what about capital losses? how can a limited company get relief? what did u lot answer?
December 4, 2012 at 3:10 pm #110014Q-4 was very difficult i can’t answer any body tell me ,, how it can be solve ..

From deductions including cessation losses and furnished holiday letting, there was about 150k income. Dividends was the only income taxed at 50% effective rate (ie. 42.5%)I thought FHL losses could only be used against FHL gains and nothing else.
December 4, 2012 at 3:14 pm #110016Question 4 was nightmare….didnt understand it at all.
December 4, 2012 at 3:15 pm #110017Yeah 4 wasn’t great. Answered the bottom two parts though. Worked out that if they took cash and shares the cash of 50k could be offset against losses and annual exemption leaving exactly 0.
December 4, 2012 at 3:35 pm #110024Thought that was the case jassi.
December 4, 2012 at 3:38 pm #110025What did question 4 actually want you to do?

what did people get in q4? was it better to take dividends or directors remuneration?also in question 1a, salary was 15100 per month. – i think i ended with about 45k ITL in the end.
trading profit what did people get – closing year rules? capital allowances?
also in q1b – poa, you cant pay poa on cessation can you?
q2 was a little strange deducting the allowable expenditure – never seen a question like this before.
q3 chargeable gains – the way losses can be treated current year. cy carry back. cy cforward?
what was the chargebale gain for the company?
q4 – i think you had to work out income tax and nic if salary paid got about 26k.
dividends were cheaper – what was the corporation tax liability?q5- pensions can only carry back 3 years of allowances?
iht what was the iht payable?
I think i put it was better to take dividends
i also got salary as 15100 per month for 8 months, and an extra payment needed for the year.
poa – has cessation got anything to do with it? i thought it was more to do with your liability vs what is deducted at source so generally not needed for employed people
chargeable losses, could be wrong but i put you had to net off with current year chargeable gains then carry forward to set off against future chargeable gains
pensions i also calculated using 3 years unused allowance
December 4, 2012 at 3:44 pm #110029I have a question on the first part of Q5.
When they didn’t pay into the pension do they lose there allowance for that year or can it be carried forward?
