    Hello Tax tutor,
    I must tell you this first that I am truly enjoying your lectures.
    They are superb! I’ve become a huge fan of yours.

    I am practicing some revision questions before moving on to Ch. 9 Employment income and I’ve got several questions. They are all from Kaplan exam kit.

    ————————————————-
    Q41.
    Brooke has been trading profitably as a sole trader for many years. However, in the year ended 31 August 2014 she made a trading loss of £65,000.
    Brooke has the following income in the tax year 2015/16:

    Trading profit for year ended 31 August 2015 £12,000
    Dividend income (gross) £9,000
    Property income (furnished holiday accommodation) £4,000
    NS&I savings certificate interest £1,000

    What is Brooke’s net income for the tax year 2015/16 assuming she carries the trading loss forward?

    £ [ ]
    —————————————————

    The answer is £13,000 but I arrived at £12,600 only because I deducted 10% wear and tear from property income to derive assessable property income.
    I wasn’t sure whether or not I was expected to adjust the property income in the question. Did I fall into the trap?

    Another question is too simple to post in a separate thread.
    Is ‘Gilt edged security’ a NS&I Certificate (Exempt) or NS&I investment (Taxable)?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Gilt edged securities are government securities where the interest is taxable and is received gross and is distinct from NS&I interest where as you say interest on certificates is exempt, but on an Investment A/C is taxable (and like on gilts the interest is received gross)
