Basis of assessment

Web: vietsourcing.edu.vn Fp: https://www.facebook.com/vietsourcing.edu.vn/ Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/vietsourcing/


CURRENT YEAR BASIC
Current year basis (CYB): The basic rule is called the current year basis (CYB).
Under the CYB, the basis period for the tax year is the taxable trading profits for the 12-month period of
account ending in that tax year.

Example
Three self – employed persons, A, B and C, have each adopted different accounting dates as follows
A: Year ended 5 April
B: Year ended 31 December
C: Year ended 30 April
The basis periods under the CYB for the year 2022-23 are as follows
A: Year ended 5 April 2023. This would have been the same under the actual basis as the accounting period = the tax year
2022-23.
B: Year ended 31 December 2022. The Whole profit of this accounting period is assessed in the tax year 2022-23 although
only nine months of the profits actually accrue in the tax year beginning 6 April 2022. CYB means that the whole of the
profits of the year ended 31 December 2022 will be assessed in the tax year 2022-23.
C: Year ended 30 April 2022. The whole profit of this accounting period is assessed in the tax year 2022- 23 although only
one month of the profits actually accrue in the tax year beginning 6 April 2022. CYB means that the whole of the year
ended 30 April 2023 will be assessed in the tax year 2023-24.

Lachmi commenced self employment on 01/01/2021.
She had a profit of £10,000 for the period ending 30/04/2022.
Calculate the tax adjusted trading profit for the period ended 30/04/2022.
The first tax year (TY1 = 2020/21)
Assessed period 01/01/21 - 05/04/21 = 3/16 * £10,000 = £1,875

Does the accounting date (30/4/2022) end in TY2?
NO
Therefore, profit will be calculated as follows:
Assessed period 06/04/21 - 05/04/22 = £10,000 * 12/16 = £7,500
The third tax year (TY3 = 2022/23)
Does the accounting date (30/4/2022) end in TY3?
YES
How long is this accounting period? (1/1/2021 - 30/4/2022)
> 12 months long therefore tax the last 12 months of the long period
01/05/21 - 30/04/22 = £10,000 * 12/16 = £7,500
Overlap profits
Overlap profits created: £1,875 + £7,500 + £7,500 - £10,000 = £6,875

CHATTELS
Set of non wasting chattels
When a disposal is made out of a set of chattels, this is referred to as a ‘part disposal’.
It is necessary to allocate a proportion of the cost of the set, to the part being disposed of.

Where A is the value of the part disposed of and B is the current market value of the part retained.
The £6,000 chattels threshold is then compared to the proceeds and the apportioned part of the cost.
The remaining cost is then used against future disposal(s) of the rest of the set.
There is a special rule where two or more assets forming part of a set of chattels which was owned by the same
person are disposed of to:
• The same person;
• Persons acting in concert; or
• Persons connected with each other Persons are considered connected with their relatives (including in-
laws) and business partners.
Treated as one disposal for the purpose of the £6,000 exemption and marginal relief. The loss rules also apply in
a similar way. If the disposals are in different tax years an apportionment of the total gain (or allowable loss)
will be required. This is made on the basis of disposal proceeds.

4.A set of china which had cost £7,000 and was sold for £8,000.

1. Table 3. The vase


The table is exempt as it was bought and sold for Deemed proceeds £6,000
less than £6,000 Cost (£8,000)
Capital loss (£2,000)
2. The painting The proceeds are deemed to be £6,000 as it was bought for
Proceeds £10,000 more than £6,000 and sold for less than £6,000.
Cost (£2,000)
Capital gain £8,000 4. The china
Maximum gain assessable = 5/3*(£10,000- Proceeds £8,000
