    Hi Sir,

    I have come across this question from the BPP revision kit. The following except is from the question concerning the occupation and deemed occupation of principal private residence for exempt chargeable purpose:
    The total ownership of the house is 210 months. The details of the occupation are as following:
    34 – Occupied
    18 – Unoccupied – Travelling overseas
    24 – Unoccupied – Required to work overseas by employer
    11 – Occupied
    30 – Unoccupied – Required to work elsewhere in UK by employer
    22 – Unoccupied – Travelling overseas
    26 – Unoccupied – Required to work elsewhere in UK by employer
    17 – Occupied
    12 – Unoccupied – Required to work overseas by employer
    13 – Unoccupied – Travelling overseas
    3 – Unoccupied – Living with sister

    I understand the last 18 months are always regarded as deemed occupation; but why the balance of the 12 months unoccupation that was required to work overseas by employer (the third from the bottom) is regarded as chargeable months: 12 – (18-3-13) = 10?
    I thought that any time employed overseas are deemed occupation. So why that 10 months are not exempt for chargeable months?

    Thanks.

    The exemption for work overseas will only apply if either the individual is still in that employment at the time of sale or has occupied the property at some point after the employment ceases (as with earlier periods of working overseas). Neither has occurred here and hence the period does not qualify as deemed occupation.
