Hello! I have a doubt in calculating the interest received in question 16 Kaplan kit pg 5 …..
M purchased 200000 nominal value gilts paying interest at 1% on 1/9/2017
Interest is payable half yearly on June and December.
M sold on 1/12/2018The interest for the TY 2018-19 is taken for 6 months i.e 200000*0.01*6/12.
The interest accrued for 5 months
Requesting you to explain this!
Thanks in advance.Can you give me all of the precise wording of the question and answer as under the accrued income scheme I would have expected to see both the interest received in June (6/12) plus the accrued income at the date of sale – sorry I don’t have the Kaplan material to refer to and I am not sure from what you have said whether the answer has or has not included this?

how much will Mathew include in savings income in respect of gilts in the tax year 2018/19?
A) 833
B) 2000
C) 1000
D) 1833interest received 30th Jun 2018 (200000*1%*6/12) = 1000
interest accrued from 1st Jul 2018 to 30th Nov 2018 (200000*1%*5/12) = 833
total interest income = 1833.can you please explain the calculation of interest received bit?
thanks.As I stated in my first reply “as under the accrued income scheme I would have expected to see both the interest received in June (6/12) plus the accrued income at the date of sale”.
You have confirmed it is the application of the accrued income scheme and therefore the answer is as stated.
