Did anyone else think the last part on EIS/SEIS on inheritance tax was asking for discussion of BPR? These shares qualify for BPR?Yes, I put as long as they were held for 2 years they would get BPR relief as they are unquoted shares.

The pensions question created a brain block at first then it suddenly clicked! The lifetime allowance is £1250000. She invested £1550000 in total. 25% can be withdrawn (of the 1250000) tax free i.e £312500. The excess of the lifetime allowance will incur a charge of 55% tax so only 45% will be received i.e (300000 x 45% = £135000) The sum is £447500.well done ! I haven’t read anything about pensions hence didn’t know the 25% lump sum
December 10, 2015 at 8:05 pm #290585No Abbi..I got AA of 20k taxed at 45% to get charge. (50k-40k) x 3 = 30k + 40k = 70k available. Excess = 90k – 70k = 20k

IHT 2 ways to not pay it?I Did same as you Abbi. 2 ways £250 to each child per year and gift out of regular income every year if she can prove her standard of living is not affected.

in 2014/15 it was £40 AA hence no unused from previous year. Only 2 years unused £10 k each hence 30k additional chargeSo you put 30k as the AA charge in income tax and extended bands by 90k? I did this.

December 10, 2015 at 8:18 pm #290599December 10, 2015 at 8:19 pm #290600Residency rules, remittance basis, groups, losses, IHT, CGT, Vat. Not tested in detail if at all. 100’s of pages. Instead slithers of the syllabus tested in detail. Examiner trying to be too clever here I feel. Pensions, seis and Incorporation relief accounted for close to 40 per cent ridiculous

December 10, 2015 at 8:25 pm #290607Well you guys can all write to ACCA and let them know how disappointed you are with the exam paper and it’s difficulty. That’s the best way to give them feedback 🙂
December 10, 2015 at 8:26 pm #290609Skip a generation? Habitual gifts? Probably on the wrong track
December 10, 2015 at 8:26 pm #290610Anyone that did Q3 remember tax and NIC liability with and without disincorporation?

I wrote that only land & buildings used for commercial use qualify for the rollover relief. But then did calculations and for GW and for the new building in the foreign country of Monicia(( for comparison of the tax saved((

What did you say about overseas? That it was classed as a branch and not a sub, therefore not affecting bands as not an associate. Corporation tax payable in uk but would get DTR on uk amount as overseas was 23%? And not to elect??
December 10, 2015 at 9:10 pm #290676For that pension question, did no one else think that the maximum she could contribute to the scheme was £80k as this was the only earnings that were relevant for tax purposes? The unfurnished property income would not qualify. I only realised at the end so didn’t get to adjust the basic rate limits to £80k instead of £90k. 🙁
Pretty sure I’ve failed this paper…again! Such bad time management in combination with poor technical knowledge on some bits of the syllabus. 🙁

I must admit I did think this but I had not done a practice on this so I just went with the 90k but I think you are correct!
