Question Number 1: Jeg Limited Group

Memorandum

To, Tax Files

From, Tax Senior

Client: Jeg Limited Group

Date: 1 September 2021

Subject: Group tax planning matters

(a) Becoming tax advisers to the Jeg Ltd group of companies

Our firm should consider about legal existence of Jeg Limited group. We should obtain information about
proof of existence of companies within group, addresses of there registered head offices and detail of their
business activities.

Futher information about people who control Jeg Limited group will also be obtained. Names and detail of
directors of the group and their residencies.

Information about group structure will also be obtained that what are the companies included in Jeg Limited
group and their residency status.

Our firm should take professional clearence from previous tax adviser of Jeg Limited group to gain detail
about there reason of termination and any ethical issues if they exist.

Further our firm should evaluate its competency to deal with Jeg Limited group. Our firm will be dealing for
the first time with a client having an overseas permenant establishment. We should make sure that we have
relevant competencies to do work of Jeg Limited group with due care.

(b) Relieving the chargeable gain on the sale of Kod Ltd’s business premises.  

Chargeable gain in relation to disposal of Kod Limited business premises can be deffered through Rollover
relief, as business premises are a qualifying asset for Rollover relief, because it is a Land and building used
in trade by Kod Limited. In order to defer gain it is necassary that reinvestment is made in any another
qualifying asset within qualifying period by Kod Limited itself OR by companies within its capital gains
group.

Qualifying assets for Rollover relief include Land and Building, Fixed Plant and Machinery and Goodwill.

Qualifying period for Rollover relief is one year before and 3 years after the disposal date. In case of Kod
Limited's disposal this qualifying period will be from 30 June 2020 to 30 June 2024. (Disposal date is 30
June 2021).

Companies within Capital Gains group of Kod Limited include Jeg Limited, Kod Limited, Lis Company and
Mot Limited. For Capital Gains group parent company must own atleast 75% direct holding and 50%
indirect holding. In case of Kod Limited, all the comapnies have a common parent company Jeg Limited
which owns their whole share capital. This satisfies requirement of 75% direct and 50% indirect holding.

Kod Limited itself has reinvested in Eight delievery vans on 1 August 2021. On this reinvestment rollover
relief will not be available as these are movable plant and machinery, on which rollover relief is not
available.

Jeg Limited reinvested in qualifying period in Fixed plant and machinery on 1 February 2021. This will
qualify for Rollover relief. Reinvestment amount is £290,000. This can defer part of the gain of Kod Limited
business premises as proceeds of business premises were £485,000.

1/3
5/24/22, 11:31 PM

Lis Company has also invested in a building, but its reinvestment will not qualify for Rollover relief as it is a
non UK resident company and non UK resident companies cannot get capital gains group privilleges.

Only qualifying reinvestment is of Jeg Limited which is of £290,000 in Fixed Plant and Machinery.

Chargeable gain on sale of Business


£247,000
premises
Rollover relief (£52,000) Balancing Figure
Charegeable now is lower of:

Cash in hand: £485,000 - £290,000 =


Chargeable now £195,000
£195,000
Chargeable Gain = £247,000 

This gain is rollover against Fixed Plant and Machinery of Jeg Limited. As Plant and machinery qualify for
capital allowances therefore deferred gain will get chargeable on earlier of:

Disposal of Plant and machinery


Ceasation of business use
10 years since deferral

It is possible that if any other qualifying asset is purchased before crystalization of this gain, deferred gain
can be transferred against base cost of that asset.

(c) Taxation of profits generated overseas.

Lis Co

If Lis Company will charge inflated prices to Jeg limited for components it is selling, then it will come under
rules of transfer pricing. Lis Company is controlled by Jeg Limited as it owns 100% shares in Lis Company.
Charging a non arms length price will be subject to transfer pricing rules.

As Lis Company is resident in country of Silana with whom UK has no Double taxation treaty, therefore it
will be regarded as a company in non Qualifying teritory. 

Anti avoidance rule of transfer pricing will get applicable as Jeg Limited a UK resident company is
transacting with Lis Company, a company in non qualifying teritory.

As per Anti avoidance rule, tax department will convert the transaction to arms length transaction. This
means that if Lis company will do transaction at inflated prices, tax department will convert this transaction
to arms length and will reduce profits of Lis Company and increase profits of Jeg Limited.

Mot Ltd

As Mot Limited is a UK resident company, therefore profits earned by its permenant establishment in Puran
will be subject to normal UK corporation taxes. However any overseas tax paid will be relieved through
double taxation relief. Tax rate in Puran is 13%, whereas tax rate in UK is 19%. Mot Limited will face net
6% UK tax after adjustment of double taxation relief in UK.

If Mot Limited makes exemption election on its overseas permenant establishment of Puran, then there will
be no UK tax on its profits of overseas permenant establishment. This means that net 6% UK tax payable
currently in UK will get saved. However it needs to keep in mind, that if this exemption election is made
then there will be no UK loss relief on overseas permenant establishment losses if they arise. Further there
will be no UK capital allowance on overseas PE assets. This exemption election is irrevocable, which means
that it will apply forever. Lastly this exemption election will be applicable on overseas PE present today and
which will be formed in future.

(d) Value added tax (VAT)


2/3
5/24/22, 11:31 PM

For Group VAT registration, companies under more than 50% share ownership can be included. In case of
Jeg Limited Group, Jeg Limtied owns whole of the share capital of Kod Limited, Lis Company and Mot
Limited. Another conditions is that company should be having its trade in UK OR its main office in UK.

Considering this, Group VAT registration will only be permitted for Jeg Limited and Kod Limited. Lis
Company is reident and doing business in Silana, it has no presence in UK. For Mot Limited, its main trade
is in Puran, so it will only be included in VAT Group registration if its main head office is in UK.

Potential disadvantage of registering as a group for VAT can be, that if any of the company within group
makes any error while submitting data for Group VAT return, then it can result in a penalty for the entire
group. They will be liable jointly for it.

If Jeg Limited will purchase components form Lis company then it will be regarded as an import done by
UK resident company as Jeg Limited is a UK resident Company whereas Lis company is an overseas
company. Jeg Limited has to pay VAT on components imported before there release from bounded
warehouse at port. However it can recover VAT paid later if it uses those components in taxable supplies.

income
Lucille's personal
(£57,600)
expenditure
Difference amount (£4,025)

Summary

Lucille has a defecit of £4,025 in her Cash earnings to pay her personal expenditure. This is happening
despite that her total taxable income is £141,130. Reason of this is a fact that her total taxable income also
includes non cash benefits. She has to pay personal expenditure from her cash earnings, whereas tax is
getting applicable on non cash earnings also. Greater tax is reducing her post tax cash earnings, which is
causing defecit while paying for personal expenditures.

Post Tax income

Lucille will only be able to pay her personal expenses from her Cash earnings. Car benefit, Accomodation
benefit and other non cash benefits, which also include shares of BKB Limited which are not a readily
convertable asset, cannot be used to pay personal expenses. However tax gets applicable on all earnings.

Total £5,635

(b) Overseas income and gain on investment property

Lucille’s gain arising on the sale, on 1 February 2021, of her investment property in Tavara will not be
subject to UK CGT because she was non UK resident while she disposed this property. No UK CGT applies
on non UK residents on overseas disposals. Further as her period of stay was of more than 5 years therefore
rules of temproary absence will not apply on her.

Lucille’s rental income in respect of her home in Tavara will be subject to UK income tax in the tax year
2021/22, because she will be UK resident in the tax year 2021/22.

Lucille’s rental income in respect of her home in Tavara will be subject to UK income tax in the tax year
2021/22, on arising basis because she is a UK resident and UK deemed domicile holder. Lucille do not have
domicile of choice in UK, but she will be regarded as deemed UK domicile holder because

She had domicile of origin of UK


She was born in UK
And she will be UK resident in the tax year 2021/22.

Considering that Lucille is UK resident and deemed domicile holder, she will not be able to opt remittance
basis.

Her unremitted amount in Tavara will be £800 per month X 12 months = £9,600. As this un remitted amount
is more than £2,000 therefore automatic remittance basis will not be available to her.

Considering non availability of remittance basis, Tavara will be subject to UK tax on arising basis on her
overseas rental income. UK tax will be payable even she donot remit the amount to UK.

(c) Trust to be created for the benefit of Lucille’s nieces

CGT Gift relief will be available on gift of shares to trust, because gift to trust is a transaction immediately
chargeable to IHT because it is a CLT. On transactions immediately chargeable to IHT CGT gift relief is
always available.

Conditions which need to be satisfied for Business property relief in relation to gift of quoted shares by
Lucille to trust include:

Lucille must have ownership of shares for atleast 2 years


Those quoted companies should be doing trading activity. If they will own excepted assets such as
investment in shares or Land and building then BPR will not be available on that portion
Lucille must control those quoted companies, which means atleast own 50% plus shares
If Lucille is disposing shares and acquiring new shares then holding period of relevant qualifying
shares should be atleast 2 years in last 5 years.

If all the conditions are satisfied then Lucille will be able to get 50% Business property relief. Value of

ONLY for the trading losses arising in his final two trading periods

Sabin ceased to trade on 31 December 2020. Her last period of trading is of six months. As it is of less than
12 months therefore terminal loss needs to be composed. Terminal loss is loss of last 12 months of business.

Loss in last fiscal year
2020 (ceasation of business) - 9 months

Terminal loss of £32,800 will be relieved against TRADING INCOME of last 36 months on Last in First out
basis. 

Loss will be relieved against 2019/20 Trading income of 21,000. Remaining loss of £32,800 - £21,000 =
£11,800 will be relieved in 2018/19

Tax Benefit will be:

In 2019/20, loss claim was of £21,000. It will give saving at basic rate of tax of £21,000 X 20% = £4,200.
Personal allowance will get wasted as revised total income is £6,000 whereas personal allowance is £12,570.
Personal allowance will be wasted by £6,570. This will result in tax impact of £6,570 X 20% = £1,314. Net
benefit will be £4,200 - £1,314  = £2,886

In 2018/19, loss claim will be £11,800. It will give tax saving of £11,800 X 20% = £2,360. No wastage of
personal allowance as suffecient income exist after it. Sabin is a basic rate tax payer after consideration of

liability in respect of each of the investment property and the antique chairs, on the assumption that Caden
dies on 20 March 2026.

For investment property, instalment option will be available as it is a gift of Land and Building. Death tax on
Caden's death which will get due after six months of death on 30 September 2026, can be paid in 10 annual
equal instalments by Nathi. However it is necassary that Nathi donot sell the asset before paying all

not actually result in any UK tax payable.
1/2
5/27/22, 9:29 PM

Amahle is a UK resident individual, therefore she has to pay UK income tax on her worldwide incomes. Her
interest income of £150,000 X 5% = £7,500 on deposit of Komur will be subject to UK income tax on
arising basis as she is a UK resident and UK domicile holder. 

Remittance basis will not be available as she is UK domicile holder. Automatic remittance basis is also not
available as unremitted amount is more than £2,000.

UK income tax will be charged irrespective of remittance to UK.

£3,750.

Basic rate band will now be £37,700 + £3,750 = £41,450

Total taxable income is £32,430 + £7,500 = £39,930. As Basic rate band is now of £41,450, therefore
Amahle is a basic rate tax payer. She will get 0% band of £1,000.

Double taxation relief will be available on Interest income of Komur, as it is already taxed in Komur also.
Double taxation relief will be lower of:

UK Tax on overseas income: £0 + £1,300 = £1,300


Overseas tax: £7,500 X 18% = £1,350

UK tax on interest income of Komur has fallen to zero as it is covered through Double taxation relief.
