    In the CGT question where there was a gift of 40,000 shares at 2.15 per 50p share; what was the value of those shares?

    I assumed 40000 x 2.15 but wondering if it should have been half of that due to them being 50p shares?

    I did the same. Then i think i taxed at 10%. I said it used the 18% rather then the other CGT disposal.

    Yantem, updated all 15 questions with probable answers.

    I would appreciate your help to elaborate question # 14. I am somehow unable to recall this question. What was the question and what were the possible options?

    The value of the shares received by Marcus’ daughter was 30000 x Β£5 (Β£150,000)

    The tax payable was Β£228,000

    Crazy huh?

    Cant rmemebr exactly the wording.

    But there were losses to be relieved. You had Β£46k of TP in the prior year. And over Β£50k in employment income. So the entire Β£62k could be relieved because you claim against profits of the same trade (without a limit) and there’s a limit of 50k otherwise, but since the remainder of the loss if less than that, you claim the whole lot!

    Oh I remember now. I chose 50k assuming we have to take higher of 25% of 62k or 50k. so i got it wrong. I scored 10/15 πŸ™‚ need 30 from part B to pass.

    I put that in my notes after the question, I knew it wasn’t worth a mark but I found it interesting. Probably one of the reasons I didn’t finish the paper lol

    This was my first paper based exam so naturally it was the most difficult so far but I totally understand what you mean about the time invested in this unit. Still, no point worrying about it now; have a great Christmas and let’s all meet back here 18th January πŸ™‚

    My ttp in q6 wasn’t in marginal relief either. I had it at higher rate, but with the first nine months at FY2013 rates and the rest at FY2014 rates.

    Same for me with the years. I dont know if its because i didnt do anything with the losses from the 4 month CAP. I didnt deduct it frm my ttp for 30.06.14.

    And i used 19 associates. I just cant remember the wording of the question about how mamy associates there were. I just presumed 19 included the company we were doing

    Q6 wasn’t in the marginal rate. It was in the main rate.

    I think I got the inheritance tax correct, the capital gains ques correct, the basis of assessment correct except the overlap profits (Stupid mistake), the cash/accruals – some of it correct, but forgot to do Capital allowances. Re the Trading profit ques, I got Samson’s calcs right but for Delilah, didn’t include the chaffeur’s cost as a benefit, partnership profit was pretty simple. VAT – had to guess a few so maybe half marks, and the corporation tax – well, I got the capital allowances correct, the PBP correct, included the IA for the capital loss incorrectly, remembered to divide by 20 for the limits, and so overall, I think I got more than half marks in part B πŸ™‚

    What was ur mistake with overlapping profits? Vat i rambled some rubbish.

    I put the same answer but the 6900 was the net gain after deducting selling expenses so the correct calculation would be:

    (7200-6000) * 5/3 = 2000
