    IT 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?

    have i misread the question i put it as £15,100 * 8 months as i thought she was paid the 15k per month :S

    i ended up with something like 26k payable after PAYE, Savings and Dividend credits

    it was if sophia went to a ltd company and effect on tax and nic savings if she i) took the 80k trading profit as directors remuneration and ii) if she took £64k(net of corp tax) as dividends.

    I massivly struggled on this that i vaguely remember what i wrote

    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.

    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.

    Yeah 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.

    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

    I 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?

    im pretty sure it doesnt get wasted and you can carry it forward – but only 3 years

    Damn it! Lol. I then was 50k out.

    Hopefully only 1/2 mark.
