December 3, 2014 at 6:33 am #216631Terrible is one of the words to describe it! What do you guys think?
December 3, 2014 at 9:30 am #216710Same situation here… Did so much practice but i was very unfortunate, Can’t solve the questions properly. Paper was very difficult this time. I hope percentile method should be followed this time. Needs a miracle to pass!
December 3, 2014 at 10:54 am #216744For the capital allowances in the first part question 1, was it only the moveable partition walls which were allowable? I took it that the low ceilings, displays and flooring were decorative so wouldn’t qualify. The walls qualified for AIA at 100% and the written down tax brought forward at 18%.
December 3, 2014 at 11:13 am #216758terrible. None from those type of questions were in P&R Kit. Think that F6 was more scenario based this session.
December 3, 2014 at 11:15 am #216759Daniel – I couldnt remember that part for the capital allowances (integral features) – I put everything bar the flooring – not sure if its right or not – but just needed to make a decision and move on.
December 3, 2014 at 11:37 am #216770Integral features – definition – From HMRC Website
The new rules on integral features apply where a person carrying on a qualifying activity incurs expenditure on the provision or replacement of an integral feature for the purposes of that qualifying activity. Each of the following is an integral feature of a building or structurean electrical system (including a lighting system),
a cold water system,
a space or water heating system, a powered system of ventilation, air cooling or air purification, and any floor or ceiling comprised in such a system,
a lift, an escalator or a moving walkway,
external solar shading
Only assets that are on the list are integral features for PMA purposes; if an asset is not one of those included in the list, the integral features rules are not in point.The rules also specifically clarify that the new definition does not extend to any asset whose principal purpose is to insulate or enclose the interior of a building, or to provide interior walls, floors or ceilings which are intended to remain permanently in place (S23(4) & S33A(6)). So if, for example, a business installs a new, permanent false ceiling in its premises, in order to conceal new wiring and service pipes, expenditure on that ceiling would not qualify for PMAs.
On the other hand, if a business installs in its premises a plenum floor or plenum ceiling, the principal purpose of which is to function as an integral part of the heating or air conditioning system (for example, the plenum floor or plenum ceiling may form the fourth side of a duct or channel through which stale air is extracted and treated air is discharged), that expenditure would qualify for PMAs as part of an βintegral featureβ of the building or structure (CA22070 & CA22080).
