1 JOSEPH AND SEPHORA KENT

Key answer tips

Part (a) is a good test of the basics of business income tax with capital allowances and opening year rules. It is important to note that the opening period is 15 months long and the effect this has on the AIA and the writing down allowances in the capital allowances computations.

Part (b) tests some important areas of personal income tax, particularly the calculation of car and fuel benefits and the restriction of the PA for high incomes.

Note that question 1 in the exam often tests both the rules for the self employed and employees.

(a) Income tax assessable amounts

Tutorial note:

When calculating the assessable amounts for a tax year, it is important to follow the correct sequence of workings.1 Adjust the profits for disallowable items for each accounting period – this step has

already been done for you. 2 Calculate the capital allowances for each accounting period. 3 Deduct the capital allowances for each accounting period from the appropriate

adjusted profit for each period. 4 Then allocate the ‘adjusted profits after capital allowances’ into each tax year using

the basis of assessment rules.

INTERIM ASSESSMENT ANSWERS

Tutorial note:

1 Capital allowances on new car purchases are calculated based on the CO2 emissions of the car as follows:

CO2 emissions of < 111 g/km: eligible for a FYA of 100%.

CO2 emissions of between 111 – 160 g/km: put in main pool, eligible for a WDA at 20%.

CO2 emissions of > 160 g/km: put in the special rate pool, eligible for a WDA at 10%.

Private use cars are however given a pool of their own and the WDA must be calculated in full and deducted from the tax written down value, but only the business proportion is included in the total allowances for the period.

The appropriate rates of WDA above are given in the tax rates and allowances.

2 Purchases of plant and machinery qualify for the AIA and the balance is eligible for the WDA of 20%.

However, the maximum AIA is scaled up for the 15 month period to £125,000 (£100,000 x 15/12). Additions in excess of the maximum AIA are eligible for the WDA of 20%.

3 The WDAs must also be scaled up for the 15 month period.

Detailed knowledge of assessable benefits is important for the exam and this question includes all the common benefits.

PAPER F6 (UK) TAXATION

Tutorial note:

1 Where there are several sources of income, it is advisable to use the columnar layout for income tax computations to ensure that you deduct the personal allowance from the correct source and calculate the tax on each source correctly.

2 Note that the question asks for income tax payable (not liability); so any tax already paid must be deducted from the tax liability figure.

Always check whether it is the tax liability or tax payable that is asked for in the question.

3 Treasury stock interest is received gross. Therefore, do not gross up the interest before inclusion in the taxable income computation and do not deduct any tax suffered at source in the income tax payable computation.

The beneficial loan benefit is calculated at the official rate of interest on the loan outstanding during the year less any interest paid. As the loan is interest free and there were no repayments during the year, the benefit is just (£50,000 x 4%).

Key answer tips

This question asks for a calculation of property income and includes all the usual complications including treatment of repairs, a lease premium received, furnished lettings and treatment of losses.

Note that it is not necessary to calculate the profit or loss separately on each property as it is the total of rents less expenses that is assessable.

Sometimes however it may be easier to prepare a summary as shown in the tutorial note at the end.

Key answer tips This question requires a straightforward calculation of the corporation tax liability with calculations of capital allowances. However, be careful as the year end straddles 31 March 2011.

Tutorial note:

When calculating the corporation tax liability, it is important to follow the correct sequence of workings. 1 Calculate capital allowances for plant and machinery. 2 Deduct the capital allowances from the adjusted profit to give the trading profits

figure. 3 Calculate the assessable amounts for other sources of profits (e.g. interest income

and chargeable gains). 4 Deduct Gift Aid donations paid in the period to calculate the taxable total profits.

5 Calculate the FII and Augmented profits to determine the appropriate rate of tax to apply.

6 Calculate the corporation tax liability accordingly.

The car for the MD therefore does not have a separate column and goes into the general pool as the CO2 emissions are between 111 –160 g/km.

The expensive car for the sales director will be entitled to a WDA restricted to a maximum of £3,000; however there is no adjustment for private use.

2 Capital assets charged in the income statement are added back in the adjustment of profits computation. If they then qualify as plant and machinery for capital allowance purposes, they will be eligible for the allowances in the normal way.

Tutorial note:

Capital losses can only be set against chargeable gains in the period and any excess capital losses are carried forward and set against future chargeable gains only.

(W4) Corporation tax liability

As TTP and therefore augmented profits are clearly over the £1,500,000 upper limit, the main rate of corporation tax will apply.

The dividend received from the overseas company is exempt from corporation tax, but would form part of FII as it is not from an associated company.

As the chargeable accounting period straddles 31 March 2011, the corporation tax liability must be calculated for each Financial Year separately.

Key answer tips

Make sure that you show the examiner that you have considered whether or not the 'augmented profits' exceed the £1.5 million limit, even where it obviously has.

Key answer tips

This question is wide ranging and includes an adjusted profit computation, capital allowances, an income tax computation and a few marks for administration issues. Adjusted profit computations are always popular in exams.

Note the requirement to include all items, even those which do not require adjustment which should be shown with a zero. These instructions must be followed in the exam, or else full marks cannot be obtained and easy marks will be lost.

Tutorial notes:

1 The replacement hard drive is allowable since the whole computer is not being replaced and the expenditure is therefore treated as revenue expenditure.

The new printer is not allowable in the adjustment of profits computation, being capital in nature. However, capital allowances are available on the cost of the printer.

2 The only exception to the non-deductibility of entertainment expenditure is when it is in respect of employees.

3 A salary to a family member must not be excessive. Since Tony’s wife is paid £3,400 more than the other sales assistants, this amount is not allowable.

4 Goods for own consumption are valued at selling price. As no entries have been made in the accounts, an adjustment must be made for the full selling price.

If the goods had been correctly removed from the accounts at cost, only the profit element would need to be adjusted for in the adjustment of profits computation.

Tutorial notes:

1 The new printer is not allowable in the adjustment of profits computation, but is eligible for capital allowances as plant and machinery eligible for AIA.

2 The expensive car is eligible for the normal 20% WDA, subject to a maximum claim of £3,000. The maximum is not applicable in this question as the normal allowance falls below £3,000.

3 For sole traders, only the business use proportion of allowances is available on assets with an element of private use.

Tutorial note:

1 Government interest and National Savings interest is received gross. They therefore should not be grossed up and there is no tax suffered at source to deduct in the income tax liability computation.

2 Income from ISAs is exempt from income tax.

3 Note that full marks can be obtained in this part even if your answer to part (a) is incorrect, provided you bring forward the figure you calculated into this computation and deal with it correctly.

(c) Retention of business records

• The business records for 2011/12 must be retained until 31 January 2018, being five years after the filing date of 31 January 2013.

• As Tony is in business during 2011/12, he must retain the records relating to the investment income until the same date.

• A failure to retain records can result in a penalty of up to £3,000. However, the maximum penalty will only be charged in serious cases.
