    Cripes I thought the husband died about 10 years before and said it expired so I only applied Nil’s – I was behind time and probably did not read the flaming question.

    vipulv, You did what you could do. You showed your workings. June is a good time to sit as we have another crack at the same whip in December. I also am not at all sure but we went to exam halls and did what we could. I know of someone who in the past had lessons paid for them and lost their bottle at the last minute. You did good.
    Debbie.

But right now I feel a failure. I have F8 on Thursday and need to pick myself up asap.

    hey vipulv!!!
    what examiners expects is your working and that u have proper knowledge and not all that exact answers!!! yes answers have marks allocated to them!!! i.e, 2- 3 marks may be? but what main thing is tht u have clear understanding and that u are able to pick and make assumptions properly where possible! 🙂

    i think I have passed, but there were so many pitfalls in the paper. I’ve attempted everything but I know I have most likely made quite a few mistakes.

    What I found a bit ambiguous in question 1, was that it didn’t specify that employment finished when the partnership started. I made an assumption that it did, because I couldn’t see how anybody could do both at once! Maybe I just misread the question, but theoretically there’s nothing stopping someone from being employed and running their own business at the same time, is there?

    I thought exactly the same – I just applied the open years rules – and got 3 months is that right??

    I’m glad it wasn’t just me then! I did the same, assumed employment was for 9 months (if I remember correctly), and partnership was for 3 months.

    @ vipulv for flat rate I also wrote it was not beneficial. I thought with flat scheme you just apply the % to the VAT inclusive output and ignore input VAT. 🙁

    I really messed up on the last 3 questions as I just rushed it as question 2 was v.time consuming.

    In question 1 I assumed that she worked for the whole year and stated that as an assumption in my answer, as it did not say that she had left and also in the house she was getting as a BIK it said she lived in the property throughout 2011-2012.

    That’s a good point about the house benefit. It seems like we have to be detectives as well as accountants to pass these exams!

    I just feel compared to other pass exams, there seemed to be a lot more written elements compared to calculation and there were so many little pitfalls. I struggled with time and made silly mistakes

    Q1 – partnership had started trading on Jan 1 2012 and prepared accounts to 30 april 2012 – in which year will the trading profits be assessed?
    My understanding was in tax year 2012/13, thus I’ve excluded trading income from the income tax computation for the tax year 2011/12 as this was asked in the question… Does it make sense to anyone??

    Q2 – first company is straight forward while the second one has long period of accounts (16m) hence needs to be divided in two: first 12m and further 4m, right?
    Moving forwards (as these two companies are connected) upper and lower limit are halved and second half had to be reduced for the 4 month period (750,000/3). Is this correct?
    Were the companies small, marginal or large?

    The trading income should have been included but only 3 months of it as it was partnership you needed to due the partnership income as per the % and taking account of salary (6000 x 4/12), then use the opening rules to get the 2011/12 trading income which was 3 months worth.
