Forums › Ask ACCA Tutor Forums › Ask the Tutor ACCA TX-UK Exams › F6 – Nil Rate Band question – BPP Question 28 Artem
Below are the relevant parts of the question which I am doing wrong.
My question is for gift on “17 January 2009? why they used “323,000” rather “336000” which is actually gift amount given in question?
——————————————————————————————–
QUESTION – 28 Artem
Artem died on 15 December 2013. During his lifetime he made the following cash gifts:
Date Donee £
10 December 2005 Daughter 65,000
17 January 2009 Trust (Artem paid the lHT) 336,000
15 February 2010 Nephew 200
18 August 2010 Sister 49,000
Required
(a) Explain the inheritance tax implications of these gifts during Artem‘s lifetime and compute any lifetime inheritance tax payable.
Nil rate bands
2005/06 £275,000
2008/09 £312,000
2009/10 onwards £325,000
———————————————
BPP ANSWER:
17 January 2009
The first £6,000 of this transfer is an exempt transfer because of the annual exemptions for 2008/09 and 2007/08.
The remaining £(323,000 – 6,000) = 317,000 Is a chargeable lifetime transfer because it is not a transfer to another individual.
This Is the first chargeable transfer that Artem makes and so the nil rate band is available in full.
The inheritance tax on this transfer ls: 317.000
Net transfer of value (Artem pays lHT)
IHT £312,000 x 0% = Nil
£5,000 x 20/80 = 1.250
Total IHT = 1 .250
I’m afraid it’s an error in the kit. If you change the question so that the gift is £323,000 rather than £336,000, then after the two AEs the gift will be £317,000 to tie in with the answer.
Thank you Lucy23 – the only reason can be a typing error!
Thanks alot Sir & Lucy23!
