    Oh I remember now…. I put the same Sarah the options were trading income, property income, dividend income and building society income. One of the answers was trading income, property income and dividend income but I was pretty sure you don’t need to file a return for dividend income? Can anyone verify?

    I put 1500 too for that question (5/3 x 900) thankfully none of the answers were 5/3 x 600 as I would have been unsure whether to deduct the 300 selling fees before applying the 5/3. Thanks examiners for that one!

    Foe the CGT mcq i used £6,900-£6,000 x5÷3. I might have read the question wrong as thought £6,900 was before deductions.

    Q6. I feel very worried about my answer now. I divided UL & LL by 19 not 20 that was very sneaky. some how my ttp was above the UL and im not sure why now. I did deduct the loss from the other company but not for the 4 month cap. This means i did not do a MR calculation im fearing loosing lots of marks. I really misread this question.

    Back to the Samson and Delilah question; on part B I concluded that by moving £4800 of the savings income from Samson to Delilah there would be a 15% tax saving because tax applied to income between 100k and 120k is effectively 60% where as Delilah’s additional rate of tax is 45%. 15% x £4800 = £720 saving. I didn’t have time to check this though!

    Ah damn it, we really need to see those questions again. I was banking on getting at least 13/15 on MCQ because the written ones were tricky.

    was the question asking about the tax saving for the both of them or just samson? I can’t remember

    If it was just sansom I think I have made the classic mistake of not reading the question properly.

    Gross proceeds were 7200 not 6900.

    2000 as gross proceeds were 7200. I.e 5/3 X 7200 etc. 6900 given in question were net proceeds, not gross proceeds.

    Correct.
    It was Samson and his personal allowance changed (increased to 4000 from 1600) and therefore he saved tax.
