    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 She invested £1550000 in total. 25% can be withdrawn (of the 1250000) tax free i.e £312500.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

    No Abbi..I got AA of 20k taxed at 45% to get charge. (50k-40k) x 3 = 30k + 40k = 70k available. Excess = 90k – 70k = 20k

    in 2014/15 it was £40 AA hence no unused from previous year. Only 2 years unused £10 k each hence 30k additional charge

    and I taxed it at 40% as her limits increased and was still in higher rate band

    I am probably wrong but I thought one year he’d used all his allowance. Can’t remember the exact question now. What did you put for part C? IHT 2 ways to not pay it?

    So you put 30k as the AA charge in income tax and extended bands by 90k? I did this.

    Residency 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

    Well 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 🙂

    I did not have a clue, I just worked it out as a normal roll over relief in hope I might get easy marks for indexation allowance etc!!

    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??

    For 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!
