Forums › Ask ACCA Tutor Forums › Ask the Tutor ACCA TX-UK Exams › TX Chapter 24, Example 4. Lecture part 4. 15 mins in
Hello,
Please can you assist with Chapter 24, example 4. Specifically in lecture part 4, around 15 mins in we see a part of the answer relating to the chargeable estate of Joe.
I follow the answer to
“Chargeable Estate £758,000”
but I do not understand what the next line “Gross Chargeable Transfers in 7 years before death £628,250” relates to.
I do understand however the “£583,000 @ 40%” line
Should both lines be £583,000? If not, what is the £129,750 difference between £758,000 and £628,250?
Many thanks
Adam
Hi Adam,
I’m on vacation right now and do not have access to my files.
I’ll answer your question when I get home

Hi Jill,
Thank you for the update and no problem at all. Hope you have a great time.
Adam
Hi
I’m home!
Ok – so the chargeable estate is 758,000
Less residence nil rate band (175,000)
_______
Taxable 538,000
Because the chargeable events in the previous 7 years of 628,250 have used up the nil rate band and it cannot be applied to the estate.
When I write the manual for next FA I will rewrite the end of the answer to make this clearer.
I hope that helps
Jill
