o Car benefit is calculated when employer gives car to Employee for private use.
o Even if car is provided for 90% business and 10% private use, still we will calculate full car benefit.
o If employer has provided more than one car to employee for private use, than calculate separate car
benefit for each car.

Add import duty xxx
Add delivery charges xxx
Add all accessories xxx except: 1.Car phone 2. Accessories for disable people.

Max limit for capital contribution = 5000.
Car benefit = cost of car x%
A 2% percentage applies to electric-powered motor cars with zero CO2 emissions.

For hybrid-electric motor cars with CO2 emissions between 1 and 50 grams per kilometer, the electric
range of a motor car is relevant in determining the car benefit percentage, as follows:
130 miles or more 2%

70 to 129 miles 5%
40 to 69 miles 8%
30 to 39 miles 12%
Less than 30 miles 14%
This % depends on Co2 emission rate of that car.

Gms/ km Petrol Diesel
51-54 15% 19%
55 16% 20%
o After 55gms/km, for additional 5 gms/km 1 % will be added.

o Maximum limit for this % is 37% for both petrol and diesel car.
o If Co2 emission is not the multiple of 5, then always round down to nearest 5.
o If employer has provided car to employee, for only few months in fiscal year, then apportion car
benefit.
o If employee has paid some usage contribution to employer for the use of car, then deduct car
benefit with this amount.
o If employer is paying for insurance, repairs, service maintenance, oil change of this car then these
benefit are “EXEMPT”
o But provision of driver is full time taxable.

Example:
During the tax year 2022–23, Fashionable plc provided the following employees with company cars:
Amanda was provided with a hybrid-electric company car throughout the tax year 2022–23. The car has a list
price of £32,200, an official CO2 emission rate of 24 grams per kilometre and an electric range of 90 miles.
Betty was provided with a new diesel company car throughout the tax year 2022–23. The car has a list price of
£16,400 and an official CO2 emission rate of 99 grams per kilometre. The car meets the RDE2 standard.
Charles was provided with a new diesel company car on 6 August 2022. The car has a list price of £13,500 and
an official CO2 emission rate of 102 grams per kilometre. The car does not meet the RDE2 standard.
Diana was provided with a new petrol company car throughout the tax year 2022–23. The car has a list price of
£84,600 and an official CO2 emission rate of 178 grams per kilometre. Diana paid Fashionable plc £1,200
during the tax year 2022–23 for the use of the car.
Amanda
With CO2 emissions between 1 and 50 grams per kilometre, the electric range of the car is relevant. This is
between 70 and 129 miles, so the relevant percentage is 5%. The car was available throughout 2022–23, so the
benefit is £1,610 (32,200 x 5%).
Betty
The CO2 emissions are above the base level figure of 55 grams per kilometre. The CO2 emissions figure of 99 is
rounded down to 95 so that it is divisible by five. The minimum percentage of 16% is increased in 1% steps for
each five grams per kilometre above the base level, so the relevant percentage is 24% (16% + 8% ((95 –
55)/5)). The 4% surcharge for diesel cars is not applied because the RDE2 standard is met. The car was
available throughout 2022–23, so the benefit is £3,936 (16,400 x 24%).
Charles
The CO2 emissions are above the base level figure of 55 grams per kilometre. The relevant percentage is 29%
(16% + 9% ((100 – 55)/5) + 4% (charge for a diesel car not meeting the RDE2 standard)). The car was only
available for eight months of 2022–23, so the benefit is £2,610 (13,500 x 29% x 8/12).
Diana
The CO2 emissions are above the base level figure of 55 grams per kilometre. The relevant percentage is 40%
(16% + 24% ((175 – 55)/5)), but this is restricted to the maximum of 37%. The car was available throughout
2022–23, so the benefit is £30,102 ((84,600 x 37%) – 1,200). The contribution by Diana towards the use of the
car reduces the benefit.

EXAMPLE:
Continuing with the above example .
Amanda was provided with fuel for private use between 6 April 2022 and 5 April 2023.
Betty was provided with fuel for private use between 6 April 2022 and 31 December 2022.

Diana was provided with fuel for private use between 6 April 2022 and 5 April 2023. She paid Fashionable plc
£600 during the tax year 2022–23 towards the cost of private fuel, although the actual cost of this fuel was
£1,000.
Amanda
Amanda was provided with fuel for private use throughout 2022–23, so the benefit is £1,265 (25,300 x 5%).
Betty
Betty was provided with fuel for private use for nine months of 2022–23, so the benefit is £4,554 (25,300 x
24% x 9/12).
Charles
Charles was provided with fuel for private use for eight months of 2022–23, so the benefit is £4,891 (25,300 x
29% x 8/12).
Diana
Diana was provided with fuel for private use throughout 2022–23, so the benefit is £9,361 (25,300 x 37%).
There is no reduction for the contribution made by Diana because the cost of private fuel was not fully
reimbursed.
Company van benefit:

The annual scale charge used to calculate the benefit where an employee is provided with a company van has
been increased from £3,500 to £3,600.
Vans producing zero CO2 emissions (zero emission vans) have a zero benefit charge.
Company car fuel benefit:

The fuel benefit is calculated as a percentage of a base figure which is announced each year. For the tax year
2022–23, the base figure has been increased from £24,600 to £25,300.
The percentage used in the calculation is exactly the same as that used for calculating the related company
car benefit.
Company van fuel benefit:

The fuel benefit where private fuel is provided for a company van has been increased from £669 to £688.
There is no fuel benefit for a company van which produces zero CO2 emissions (a zero emission van).

Required:
Prepares a statement of taxable trading income (before capital allowances)

TX: Taxation:
Capital Allowance:
o Tax allowable depreciation
o Depreciation is calculated on Reducing Balance.
o Depreciation policy is yearly basis. Means full in the year of purchased and none in the year of sale.
o Means if you have purchased machinery on the last date of accounting period. Still you will get full
capital allowance for this year.
o No capital allowance on land and building
o We compute capital allowance for accounting period not fiscal year.
There are two depreciation rates
18% on all general machinery
6% on special equipment
Normally tax department does not give capital allowance on single asset. They normally allow capital
allowance on group of asset that’s why we make pool for assets
There are 2 types of pool.

1. Main pool or general pool.
2. Special rate pool.
Annual investment allowance (AIA):

o AIA is £1,000,000/Annual
o It is available on first year of purchase
o It is not available on cars.
o The purpose is to motivate individuals and companies to buy more and more assets.
o It is available on general as well as special plant.
o This £1,000,000/annual is for 12 months A/C period. Accounting period is less than or more than 12
months then apportion.
Zero-emission motor cars:
New motor cars with CO2 emissions up to 50 grams per kilometer qualify for the 100% first year
allowance, so the cost is effectively deducted as an expense in the year of purchase.
Special Rate Pool:

Expenditure on Thermal Insulation, long life assets, integral features of building and cars with CO2
emission rate over 50 gms/km.
Long life assets > (life of 25 yrs or more)
Aggregate expenditure must be more than 100000 in one chargeable period.
Integral Features of Building:
Lifts or escalators.
Exhaust system
Powered system of cooling, heating or air conditioning.
Water cooling and heating system

TX: Taxation:
Structures and buildings allowance (SBA):
A new type of capital allowance has been introduced, known as the structures and buildings allowance
(SBA). Relief is given as an annual straight-line allowance of 3% over a 33⅓ year period (33 years and four
months).
The structures and buildings allowance (SBA) is only available where a building (or structure) has been
constructed on or after 29 October 2018 (the date of the 2018 Budget). However, a question will only be set
where construction is on or after 6 April 2020 (1 April 2020 for limited companies).
o Offices, retail and wholesale premises, factories and warehouses can all qualify for the SBA (as can walls,
bridges and tunnels).
o The value of land is excluded, as is any part of a building used as a dwelling house. Expenditure which
qualifies as plant and machinery cannot also qualify for the SBA. Similarly, expenditure which qualifies for
the SBA cannot also qualify for the plant and machinery annualinvestment allowance.
o Where an unused building is purchased from a builder or developer, then the qualifying expenditure willbe
the price paid less the value of the land.
o The building (or structure) must be used for a qualifying activity such as a trade or property letting.
o The SBA can only be claimed from when the building (or structure) is brought into qualifying use. This
means that the SBA will be time apportioned for the period when first brought into use, unlike plant and
machinery allowances which are always given in full for the period of purchase.
o A separate SBA is given for each building (or structure) qualifying for relief.
Plant and machinery:

Main pool 18%
Special rate pool 6%
Motor cars:
New cars with zero CO₂ emissions 100%
CO₂ emissions between 1 and 50 grams per kilometer 18%
CO₂ emissions over 50 grams per kilometer 6%
Annual investment allowance:

Rate of allowance 100%
Expenditure limit £1,000,000
Commercial structures and buildings:

Straight-line allowance 3%
Enhanced capital allowances for companies

Main pool super deduction 130%
Special rate pool first year allowance 50%
Unless there is private use, motor cars qualifying for writing down allowances at the rate of 18% are
included in the main pool, whilst motor cars qualifying for writing down allowances at the rate of 6% are
included in the special rate pool. Motor cars with private use (by a sole trader or partner) are not
pooled, but are kept separate so that the private use adjustment can be calculated.

TX: Taxation:
Balance adjustment:
For de pooled assets, balancing adjustment is done on the same date when asset is sold.
When an asset is sold from any pool, balancing adjustment is done but it is done over period of years. In
other words no immediate balancing adjustments on pool assets when they are sold.
But when business is ceased all pool assets are sold so immediate balancing ADJUSTMENT is done on
pool.
In the last year of business we don’t apply any 18% on pool. We just do balancing adjustments because
now we will get real depreciation of each and every asset through balancing adjustment. If a business is
going on but the owners has sold all assets of any pool. Now there are 2 cases. If positive balancing is
coming after selling all assets then business can’t claim balancing allowance immediately. But if negative
balance is coming after selling all assets immediate balancing adjustment is done for the complete
amount.

Rule to Remember:
One you have accounted for 1st A/C period completely. Then just apply ongoing rule. In trading income
we start our journey from accounting profit and stop at tax adjusted trading profit. All these
adjustments including cap. Allowance is done for A/C period but individual pays tax for fiscal year. So
finally we align A/C periods with tax year. This adjustment/ alignment is called basis period calculation.

Cash Basis for small Business:
A voluntary simplified cash basis of calculating trading profit has been introduced for sole traders and
partnerships (limited companies are included). This is as an alternative to the normal accruals basis. And
can be used where revenue is initially below the limit of £150000. A business may then continue to use
the cash basis until he revenue is twice the limit - that is £300,000.
With the cash basis receivables. Payables and inventory are ignored and tax deduction capital and
revenue expenditure will be treated the same-purchases of equipment are simply deducted as an
expense, whilst the proceeds from any disposals are included with receipts.
A business using the cash basis can use the approved mileage allowances to calculate the deduction for
business mileage. The rate is 45p per mile for the first 10000 miles with a rate of 25p par mile
thereafter. The actual running and capital costs of owning a motor car are ignored.
Where the use of the cash basis results in a trading loss the only relief available is to carry the loss
towards against future trading profits. There is no relief against total income. Trading profit (or loss)
under the cash basis is therefore calculated as follows:
Receipts (including the purchase of equipment) XXX

Expense payment (including the purchase of equipment) (XXX)
Trading profit (or loss) XXX

1. Revenue was £62800 of which £3800 was owed as receivables at 5 April 2022.
2. One 6 April 2021 office equipment was purchased for £4700.
3. On 10 April 2021 a motor car with CO2 emissions of 49 grams per kilometer was purchased for
£15600. The motor car is used by Winifred and 60% of the mileage is for private journey.
4. Motor expenses were £4800. During the year ended 5 April 2022 Winifred drove 9000 business
miles
5. Other expenses (all allowable) were £13300, of which £700 was owed as payables at 5 April 2022.
If Winifred uses the normal basis her trading profit for the year ended 5 April 2022 will be £41557
calculated as follows.

1. The office equipment purchased for £4700 qualifies for the annual investment allowance
2. The motor car has CO2 emissions between 1 and 50 grams per kilometer and therefore qualifies for
writing down allowances at the rate of 18%.
The allowance for the year ended 5 April 2022 is £1123 (15600 x 18% = 2808 x 40%)
However if Winifred uses the cash basis her trading profit will be £37450 calculated as follows.

There is also a flat rate private use adjustment where business are used as a home-typically where the

the private use adjustment would be £ 6000 per year (the relevant figure will be provided as part of an

Penalties for errors:
There is a common penalty regime for errors in tax returns including income tax NICs corporation tax
and CAT Penalties range from 30% to 100% of the Potential Lost avenue penalties may be reduced. A
common penalty regime for errors in tax returns for income tax, national insurance contributions,
corporation tax and value added tax.
A penalty may be imposed where a taxpayer makes an inaccurate return if he has:
o Been careless because he has not taken reasonable care in making the return or discovers the error
later but does not take reasonable steps to inform HMRC; or
o Made a deliberate error but does not make arrangements to conceal it; or
o Made a deliberate error and has attempted to conceal if e.g. by submitting false evidence in support
of an inaccurate figure.
Note that an error which is made where the taxpayer has taken reasonable care in making the return
and which he does not discover later, does not result in a penalty.
In order for a penalty to be charged, the inaccurate return must result in:
o An understatement of the taxpayer’s tax liability; or
o A false or increased loss for the taxpayer; or
o A false or increased repayment of tax to the taxpayer.
If a return contains more than one error, a penalty can be charged for each error.
The rules also extend to errors in claims for allowances and reliefs and in accounts submitted in relation
to a tax liability.
Penalties for error also apply where HMRC has issued an assessment estimating a person’s liability
where;
o A return has been issued that person and has not been returned, or
o The taxpayer was required to deliver a return to HMRC but has not delivered it.
The taxpayer will be charged a penalty where
o The assessment understates the taxpayer’s liability to income tax, capital gains tax, corporation tax
or VAT, and
o The tax payer falls to take reasonable steps within 30 days of the date of assessment to tell HMRC
that there is an under-assessment.
The amount of the penalty for error is based on the ‘Potential lost revenue’ (PLR) to HMRC as a result of
the error. For example, if there is an understatement of tax, this understatement will be the PLR.
The maximum amount of the penalty for error depends on the type of error:
Type of error Maximum penalty payable
Careless 30% of PLR
Deliberate not concealed 70% of PLR
Deliberate and concealed 100% of PLR

Question:
Alex is a sole trader. He files his tax return for 2021/22 on 10 January 2022. The return shows his trading
income to be £60000. In fact, due to carelessness, his trading income should have been stated to be
£68000.
State the maximum penalty that could be charged by HMRC on Alex for his error.
Answer:
The potential lost revenue as a result of Alex’s error is:
£(68000-60000) = £8000 x [40% (income tax) + 3.25% (NICs)] £3460
Alex’s error is careless so the maximum penalty for error is; £1038
£3460 x 30%
A penalty for error may be reduced if the taxpayer tells HMRC about the error - this is called a
disclosure. The reduction depends on the circumstances of the disclosure and the help that the
taxpayer gives to HMRC in relation to the disclosure.
An unprompted disclosure is one made at a time when the taxpayer has no reason to believe HMRC
has discovered, or is about to discover, the error. Otherwise, the disclosure will be a prompted
disclosure. The minimum penalties that can be imposed are as follows:
Type of error Unprompted Prompted

Careless 0% of PLR 15% of PLR
Deliberate not concealed 20% of PLR 35% of PLR
Deliberate and concealed 30% of PLR 50% of PLR

Sue is a sole trader. She submitted her tax return for 2021/22 on 31 January 2023. The return shows a
loss for the year of £(80000), in fact. Sue has deliberately increased this loss by £(12000) and has
submitted false figures in support of her claim. HMRC initiate a review into Sue’s return and in reply Sue
then makes a disclosure of the error. Sue is a higher rate taxpayer due to her substantial investment
income and she has made a claim to set the loss against general income in 2021/22.
State the maximum and minimum penalties that could be charged by HMRC on Sue for her error.
Answer:
The potential lost revenue as a result of Sue’s error is:
£12000 x 40% £4800
Sue’s error is deliberate and concealed so the maximum penalty for error is:
£4800 x 100% £4800
Sue has made a prompt disclosure so the minimum penalty for error is
£4800 x 50% £2400
The help that the taxpayer gives to HMRC relates to when, how and to what extent the taxpayer.
o Tells HMRC about the error, making full disclosure and explaining how the error was made;
o Gives reasonable help to HMRC to enable it to quantity the error; and
o Allow access to business and other records and other relevant documents.
A taxpayer can appeal to the first tier tax tribunal against:
o The penalty being charged;
o The amount of the penalty.

Penalties for late notification of chargeability:
A common penalty regime also applies to certain taxes for failures to notify chargeability to, or liability
to register for, tax that result in a loss of tax. The taxes affected include income tax, NICs, PAYE, CGT,
corporation tax and VAT. Penalties are behavior related, increasing for more serious failures and are
based on the ‘potential lost revenue.’
The minimum and maximum penalties as percentages of PLR are as follows:
Behavior Maximum Minimum penalty with Minimum penalty with

Deliberate and 100% 30% 50%

Careless 30% 10% 0% 20% 10%
Note that there is no zero penalties for reasonable care (as there is for penalties for errors on return-see
above), although the penalty may be reduced to 0% if the failure is rectified within 12 months through
unprompted disclosure. The penalties may also be reduced at HMRC’s discretion in special
circumstances’. However, inability to pay the penalty is not a ‘special circumstance.’
The same penalties apply for failure to notify HMRC of a new taxable activity.
Where the taxpayer’s failure is not classed as deliberate, there is no penalty if he can show he has a
reasonable excuse;. Reasonable excuse does not include having insufficient money to pay the penalty.
Taxpayers have a right of appeal against penalty decisions to the First Tier Tribunal.
Penalties for late filling of tax return:
A penalty can be charged for late filling of a tax return based on now late the return is and how much
tax is payable.
An individual is liable to a penalty where a tax return is filled after the due filling date. The penalty
date is the date on which the return will be overdue (i.e. the date after the due filling date).
The initial penalty for late filling of the return is 100.
If the failure continues after the end of the period of 3 months starting with the penalty date, HMRC
may give the individual notice specifying that a daily penalty of £10 is payable for a maximum of 90 days.
The daily penalty runs from a date specified in the notice which may be earlier than the date of the
notice but cannot be earlier than the end of the 3 month period.

TX: Taxation:
If the failure continues after the end of the period of 6 months starting with the penalty date, a further
penalty is payable. This penalty is the greater of:
o 5% of the tax liability which would have been shown in the return; and
o £300.
If the failure continues after the end of the period of 12 months starting with the penalty date, a further
penalty is payable, this penalty is determined in accordance with the taxpayer’s conduct in withholding
information which would enable or assist HMRC in assessing the taxpayer’s liability to tax.
The penalty is computed as follows:
Type of conduct Penalty
Deliberate and concealed Greater of:
• 100% of tax liability which would have been shown on
return; and
• £300
Deliberate Not concealed Greater of
return; and
• £300
Any other case (eg careless) Greater of
return; and
• £300
Penalty for late payment tax:

This penalty was dealt with in Section 4.2 earlier in this chapter.
Penalty for failure to keep records:
The maximum penalty for each failure to keep and retain records is £3000 per tax year/accounting
period. This penalty can be reduced by HMRC.

TX: Taxation:
Appeals:
Disputes between tax payers and HMRC can be dealt with by an HMRC internal review or by a Tribunal
hearing.
Internal reviews:
For direct, appeals must first e made to HMRC, which will assign caseworker’
For indirect taxes, appeals must be sent directly to the Tax Tribunal, although the taxpayer can continue
to correspond with his caseworker where, for example, there is new information.
At this stage the taxpayer may be offered or may ask for an ‘Internal review’, which will be made by an
objective HMRC review officer not previously connected with the case. This is a less costly and more
effective way to resolve disputes informally, without the need for a Tribunal hearing. An appeal to the
Tax Tribunal cannot be made until any review has ended.
The taxpayer must either accept the review offer, or notify an appeal to the Tax Tribunal within 30 days
of being offered the review, otherwise the appeal with be treated as settled.
HMRC must usually carry out the review within 45 days, or any longer time as agreed with the taxpayer.
The review officer may decide to uphold, vary or withdraw decisions.
After the review conclusion is notified, the taxpayer has 30 days to appeal to the Tax Tribunal.

Inheritance Tax(IHT):
1. For transfer of wealth
2. On death estate
3. Life time gifts
Difference between IHT & CGT:

1. CGT is chargeable on gain IHT is chargeable on wealth.
2. CGT is chargeable on allowed assets whereas IHT is chargeable on all assets.
IHT is computed on decrease in wealth of donor.
Potential Exempt Transfer (PET):

1. Gift to any individual
2. Right now no IHT
3. If donor died within 7 years then PET will be chargeable in the year of death.
4. Market value will be locked now.
Chargeable Life time transfer (CLT):

1. Gift to trust
2. Immediately chargeable in the year of gift.
3. If donor died within 7 years from the date of gift then additional IHT is payable in the year of death.
4. MV will be locked now.
Annual Exemption:
1. 3000/year
2. AE only available for PET and CLT
3. No AE for death estate
4. AE is always used left to right in a fiscal year.
5. Unused AE maybe c/f for only one year
6. Always use current year AE first and then last year AE.
Taper Relief:
1. Only available on PET and additional IHT on CLT
2. No T.R on death estate.
3. The T.R is always the gap b/w date of gift and date of death.
Marriage Exemption:
1. First 5000 from parents.
2. First 2500 from grandparents
3. First 1000 from others
Small Gift Exemption:

1.250/person/FY
2. If this 250 limit is crossed full amount is PET not just excess.

TX: Taxation:

1. From income
2. Habitual in nature
3. Does not affect donor's standard of living e.g. pocket money.
Spouse Exemption:
1. Any amount of gift b/w husband and wife.
2. In this life and after death through "will".
Planning Interaction between CGT & IHT:

Question#1:
Mr. A holds 60,000 shares of X Co. Total issued shares of X Co. = 100,000.
Mr. A gifted 15,000 shares of X Co. to his son.
MP/share for 60% holding is 30/share
Required: Decrease in wealth of donor?
IHT:
Death estate 450000
Chargeable estate
IHT liability 45000 at nil%
405000 at 40% 162000

TX: Taxation:
Advantages of lifetime transfers:
Lifetime transfers are the easiest way for a person to reduce their potential IHT liability.
o A PET is completely exempt after seven years.
o A CLT will not incur any additional IHT liability after seven years.
o Even if the donor does not survive for seven years, taper relief will reduce the amount of IHT
payable after three years.
o The value of PETs and CLTs is fixed at the time they are made, so it can be beneficial to make gifts of
assets that are expected to increase in value such as property of shares.
Tax liability on death estate:
Until now the examples have simply a figure for the value of a person’s estate. However, it may be
necessary to calculate it.
A person’s estate includes the value of everything which they own at the date of death such as property,
shares, motor vehicles, cash and other investments. A person’s estate also includes the proceeds from
life assurance policies even though these proceeds will not be received until after the date of death. The
actual market value of a life assurance policy at the date of death is irrelevant.
The following deductions are permitted:

o Funeral expenses
o Debts due by the deceased provided they were incurred for valuable consideration. Therefore,
gambling debts cannot be deducted.
Mortgage on property. This does not include endowment mortgages as these are repaid upon death by
the life assurance element of the mortgage. Repayment mortgages and interest only mortgages are
deductible.
o Executional fees not allowed

Chargeable lifetime transfers:
The donor is primarily responsible for any IHT that has to be paid in respect of a CLT. However, a
questionmay state that the done is to instead pay the IHT. Remember that grossing up is only necessary
where the donor pays the tax.
The due date is the later of:
30th April following the end of the tax year in which the gift is made.
Six months from the end of the month in which the gift is made.
Therefore, if a CLT is made between 6 April and 30 September in a tax year than any IHT will be due on
the following 30 April. If a CLT is made between 1 October and 5 April in a tax year than any IHT will be
due six months from the end of the month in which the gift is made.
The donee is always responsible for any additional IHT that becomes payable as a result of the death of
the donor within seven years of making a CLT. The due date is six months after the end of the month in
which the donor died.
Potentially exempt transfers:
The done is always responsible for any additional IHT that becomes payable as a result of the death of
the donor within seven years of making a PET. The due date is six months after the end of the month in
which the donor died.
Death estate:
The personal representatives of the deceased’s estate are responsible for any IHT that is payable. The
due date is six months after the end of the month in which death occurred. However, the personal
account of the estate assets to HM revenue and customs, and this may be earlier than the due date.
Where part of the estate is left to a spouse then this part will be exempt and will not bear any of the IHT
liability. Where a specific gift left to a beneficiary then this gift will not normally bear any IHT. The IHT is
therefore usually paid out of the non-exempt residue of the estate.
Example 1:
Alfred died on 15 December 2014. He made the following lifetime gifts.
20 November 2012
A gift of £420000 to a trust. Alfred paid the IHT arising from this gift
8 August 2013
A gift of £360000 to his son.
These figures are after deducting available exemptions.

Alfred’s estate at 15 December 2014 was valued at £850000. Under the terms of his will he left £250000
to his wife, a specific legacy of £50000 to his brother, and the residue of the estate to his children.
The nil rate band for the tax year 2012-13 is £312000, and for the tax year 2013-14 it is £325000.

Where earlier nil rate bands may be relevant, they will be given to you within the question.
A residence nil rate band applies where a main residence is inherited on death by direct descendants
(children and grandchildren). For the tax year 2022–23, the residence nil rate band is £175,000.
The residence nil rate band is only relevant where an individual dies on or after 6 April 2018, their estate
exceeds the normal nil rate band of £325,000 and their estate includes a main residence. Any other type
of property, such as a property which has been let out, does not qualify for the residence nil rate band.
Example 2:
Sophie died on 26 May 2020 leaving an estate valued at £850,000. Under the terms of her will, Sophie’s
estate was left to her children. The estate included a main residence valued at £325,000.
The inheritance tax (IHT) liability is:
£
Chargeable estate 850,000
IHT liability:
- 500,000 (325,000 + 175,000) at nil% 0

- 350,000 at 40% 140,000
The residence nil rate band of £175,000 is available because Sophie’s estate included a main residence
and this was left to her direct descendants.
In the same way in which any unused normal nil rate band can be transferred to a surviving spouse (or
registered civil partner), the residence nil rate band is also transferable. It does not matter when the
first spouse died.

Example 3:
Timothy died on 19 June 2020 leaving an estate valued at £850,000. Under the terms of his will,
Timothy’s estate was left to his children. The estate included a main residence valued at £450,000.
Timothy’s wife died on 5 May 2009. She used all of her nil rate band.
Timothy’s IHT liability is:
£
IHT liability
-675,000 (325,000 + 350,000) at nil% 0

- 175,000 at 40% 70,000
70,000
o Timothy’s personal representatives can claim his deceased wife’s unused residence nil rate band of
£175,000.
o The amount of residence nil rate band is therefore £350,000 (175,000 + 175,000).
The value of the main residence is after deducting any repayment mortgage or interest-only mortgage
secured on that property.
If a main residence is valued at less than the available residence nil rate band, then the residence nil rate
band is reduced to the value of the residence.
Example 4:
Una died on 10 July 2020 leaving an estate valued at £625,000. Under the terms of her will, Una’s estate
was left to her children. The estate included a main residence valued at £225,000 on which there was an
outstanding interest-only mortgage of £130,000.
Una’s IHT liability is:

£
IHT liability
- 420,000 (325,000 + 95,000) at nil% 0
- 205,000 at 40% 82,000
82,000
The value of Una’s main residence is £95,000 (225,000 – 130,000), so the residence nil rate band is
restricted to this amount.
The residence nil rate band does not apply to lifetime transfers becoming chargeable as a result of the
donor’s death within seven years.

Example 5:
Maud died on 22 April 2020 leaving an estate valued at £775,000. Under the terms of her will, Maud’s
estate was left to her grandchildren. The estate included a main residence valued at £410,000.
On 30 April 2018, Maud had made a potentially exempt transfer of £435,000 (after the deduction of
annual exemptions) to her son.
IHT liabilities are:

Given that the residence nil rate band is only available where inheritance is by direct descendants,
rearranging the terms of a will can save IHT.
Example 6:
Victor has an estate valued at £1,400,000, including a main residence valued at £550,000. He has not
made any lifetime gifts. Victor’s wife died on 17 May 2010 and all of her estate was left to Victor. Under
the terms of his will, Victor has left his main residence to his brother, with the residue of the estate left
to his children.
Currently, Victor’s estate will benefit from a nil rate band of £650,000 (325,000 + 325,000). The
residence nil rate band is not available because the main residence will not be inherited by a direct
descendant.
Victor could amend the terms of his will so that his brother inherited £550,000 of other assets, with the
main residence being included within the residue. A residence nil rate band of £350,000 (175,000 +
175,000) would then be available, saving IHT of £140,000 (350,000 at 40%).
There is no reason why Victor’s brother could not purchase the main residence from the children
following Victor’s death.
A question will make it clear if the residence nil rate band is available. Therefore, you should assume
that the residence nil rate band is not available if there is no mention of a main residence.

SILVERSTONE LTD (ADAPTED)

Silverstone Ltd is registered for value added tax (VAT), but currently does not use any of the special VAT
schemes. The company has annual standard rated sales of £1,200,000 and annual standard rated expenses of
£550,000. Both these figures are exclusive of VAT and are likely to remain the same for the foreseeable
future.
Silverstone Ltd is up to date with all of its tax returns, including those for corporation tax, PAYE and VAT. It is
also up to date with its corporation tax, PAYE and VAT payments. However, the company often incurs
considerable overtime costs due to its employees working late in order to meet tax return filing deadlines.
Silverstone Ltd pays its expenses on a cash basis, but allows customers two months credit when paying for
sales. The company does not have any impairment losses.
Silverstone Ltd is planning to purchase some new machinery at a cost of £22,000 (exclusive of VAT). The
machinery can either be purchased from an overseas supplier situated outside the European Union, or from a
VAT registered supplier situated in the European Union. Silverstone Ltd is not a regular importer and so is
unsure of the VAT treatment for this purchase.
Required: (a) Explain why Silverstone Ltd is entitled to use both the VAT cash accounting scheme and the VAT
annual accounting scheme, and why it will probably be beneficial for the company to use both schemes. (6
marks)
(b) Explain when and how Silverstone Ltd will have to account for VAT in respect of the new machinery if it is
purchased from:
(1) a supplier situated outside the European Union, or
(2) a VAT registered supplier situated elsewhere within the European Union. (4 marks) (Total: 10 marks)
The Tax Point:

The tax point is deemed date of supply. The basic tax is point is the date on which goods are removed or
made available to the customer, or the date on which services are completed, if VAT invoice is issued or
payment is received before the basic Tax point, the earlier of these dates becomes the tax point if the
earlier date rule does not apply, and the VAT invoice is issued within 14 days of the basic tax point the
invoice date becomes the actual tax point.
Miscellaneous Points:
Goods supplied on sale or return are treated as supplied on the earlier of adoption by the customer or
12 months after dispatch.
Input Tax Recovery:

For input tax to be deductible, the payer must be a taxable person, with the supply being to him in the
course of his business. In addition a VAT invoice must be held.
Input tax recovery and be denied to any business that does not hold a valid VAT invoice and cannot
provide alternative evidence to prove the supply took place.

TX: Taxation:
Non-Deductible Input Tax:

The following input tax is non-deductible even for a taxable person with taxable outputs.
o VAT on motor cars not used wholly for business purposes, VAT on cars is never reclaimable unless
the car is acquired new for resale or is acquired for use in on leasing to a taxi business, a self-drive
car hire business or a driving school (see further below).
o VAT on business entertaining where the cost of entertaining is not a tax deductible trading expense.
If the items bought are used partly for such entertaining and partly for other purposes, the
proportion of the VAT relating to entertainment is non-deductible.
o VAT on expense incurred on domestic accommodation for directors.
o VAT on non-business items passed through the business accounts. However, when goods are bought
partly for business accounts. However, when goods are bought partly for business use, the
purchaser may:
1. Deduct all the input tax, and accounts for output tax in respect of the private use, or
2. Deduct only the business proportion of the input tax.
Relief for Impairment Losses (Bad Debts):

Relief for VAT on impairment losses (bad debts) is available if the debt is over six months old (measured
from when the payment is due) and has been written off in the trader’s accounts.
When a supplier of goods or services has accounted for VAT on the supply and the customer; does not
pay, the supplier may claim a refund of VAT on the amount unpaid. Relief is available for VAT on
impairment losses (bad debts) if the debt is over six months old (measured from when payment is due)
and has been written off in the creditor’s accounts.

TX: Taxation:
VAT Invoices:
A taxable person making taxable supply to another registered person must supply a VAT invoice within
30 days.
A taxable person making a taxable supply to another person registered for VAT must supply a VAT.
Invoice with 30 days of the time of supply and must keep a copy.
The invoice must show:
o The supplier’s name, address and registration number
o The date of issue, the tax point and an invoice number
o The name and address of the customer
o A description of the goods or service supplied, giving for each description the quantity the unit price,
the rate of VAT and the VAT exclusive amount.
o The rate of any cash discount
o The total invoice price excluding VAT (with separate totals for zero rated and exempts supplies)
o Each VAT rate applicable and the total amount of VAT.
Records:
Every VAT registered trade must keep a record for six years.
The cash accounting scheme:

The cash accounting scheme enables businesses of account for VAT on the basis of cash paid and
received. That is, the date of payment or receipts determines impairment loss relief (bad debt relief)
because VA is not due on a supply until payment has been received.
The scheme can only be used by a trader whose annual taxable turnover (exclusive of VAT) not exceeds
£1350000.
If the value of taxable supplies exceeds £1600000 in the 12 months to the end of a VAT period a trader
must leave the cash accounting scheme within 6 months?
The Annual Accounting Scheme:

The annual accounting scheme is only available to traders who regularly pay VAT to HMRC, not to
traders who normally receive repayments. It is available for traders whose taxable turnover (exclusive of
VAT) for the 12 months starting on their application to join the scheme is not expected to exceed
£1350000. If we enter in scheme and before ending 12 months if sales touch £1600000 then he will be
out of scheme immediately.
Under the annual accounting scheme traders file annual VAT returns but throughout the year they must
make payments on account of their VAT liability by direct debit. The year for which each return is made
may end at the end of any calendar month. Under HMRC agree otherwise the trader must pay 90% of
the previous year’s net VAT liability during the year by means of nine monthly payments connecting at
the end of the fourth month of the year. The balance of the year’s VAT is then paid with the annual
return.

TX: Taxation:
An annual VAT return must be submitted to HMRC along with any balancing payment due within due
two months of end of the year.
Advantages of annual accounting:
o Only one VAT return each year so fewer occasions to trigger a default surcharge
o Ability to manage cash flows more accurately
o Avoids need for quarterly calculations for input tax recovery
Disadvantages of annual accounting:

o Need to monitor future taxable supplies to ensure turnover limit not exceed
o Payment based on previous year’s turnover may not reflect current year turnover which may be a
problem if the scale of activities has reduced
Flat Rate Scheme:

The optional flat rate scheme enables business to calculate VAT due to simply by applying a flat rate
percentage to their turnover.
Under the scheme business calculate VAT by applying a fixed percentage to their tax inclusive turnover
i.e. the total turnover including all reduced rate zero rather and exempt income.
Business using the scheme must issue VAT invoices to their VAT registered customers but they do not
have to record all the details of the invoices issued or purchase invoices received to calculate VAT due
invoices issued will show VAT at the normal rate rather than flat rate.
A business may join flat rate scheme if its expected turnover for the next 12 months is not expected to
exceed £150000.
The business must leave the scheme at once if its turnover for previous year exceed £ .
Flat Rate Scheme:

Under the flat rate scheme, a business calculates its VAT liability by simply applying a flat rate
percentage to total turnover. A flat rate of 16.5% has been introduced for those businesses which have
no, or only a limited amount of, purchases of goods.
You will not be expected to establish whether the flat rate of 16.5% is applicable, but a question could
be set where this rate applies.
There is very little advantage to using the flat rate scheme if the 16.5% rate applies because it is
equivalent to a rate of 19.8% on the net turnover compared to the normal VAT rate of 20%. If a business
has much input VAT, then the flat rate scheme will not be beneficial if the 16.5% rate applies.
Example:
Omah registered for VAT on 1 January 2018 and uses the flat rate scheme to calculate his VAT liability.
For the year ended 5 April 2021, he has annual standard rated sales of £100,000, and these are all made
to the general public. Omah has annual standard rated expenses of £ 16,000. Both figures are exclusive
of VAT. The relevant flat rate scheme percentage for Omah’s trade is 16.5%.
o If Omah continues to use the flat rate scheme, then he will pay VAT of £19,800 ((100,000 + 20,000
(output VAT of 100,000 x 20%)) x 16.5%).
o Using the normal basis of calculating the VAT liability, Omaha would have to pay annual VAT of
£16,800 ((100,000 – 16,000) x 20%), which is an annual saving of £3,000 (19,800 – 16,800).

Residency Issues:
A statutory test of residence has been introduced to determine a person’s residence status each tax
year.
The following people will automatically be treated as not resident in the UK.
o A person who is in the UK for less than 16 days during a tax year.
o A person who is in the UK for less than 46 days during a tax year, and who has not been resident
during the three previous tax years.
o A person who works full-time overseas, subject to them not being in the UK for more than 90 days
during a tax year.
Subject to not meeting any of the automatic non-resident tests, the following people will automatically
be treated as resident in the UK:
o A person who is in the UK for 183 days or more during a tax year.
o A person whose only home is in the UK
o A person who carries out full time work in the UK.
Where a person’s resident status cannot be determined according to any of the automatic tests, then
his/her status will be based on how many ties they have with the UK and how many days they stay in
the UK during a tax year. There are five UK ties as follow:
o Having close family (a spouse/civil partner or minor child) in the UK

o Having a house in the UK which is made use of during the tax year.
o Doing substantive work in the UK.
o Being in the UK for more than 90 days during either of the two previous tax years.
o Spending more time in the UK than in any other country in the tax year.
How the UK ties test is applied depends on whether a person has been resident in the UK for any of the
previous three tax years. A person who has been resident during any of the previous three tax years will
typically be someone that is leaving the UK, and for them all five UK ties are relevant. A person who has
not been resident during any of the previous three tax years will typically someone that is arriving in the
UK, and for them the final country tie is ignored.
A person’s residence status is found by comparing the number of days they are in the UK during a tax
year against how many UK ties they have:
Days in UK Previously resident Not previously resident

Less than 16 Automatically not resident Automatically not resident
16 to 45 Resident if 4 UK ties (or more) Automatically not resident
46 to 90 Resident if 3 UK ties (or more) Resident if 4 UK ties
91 to 120 Resident if 2 UK ties (or more) Resident if 3 UK ties (or more)
121 to 182 Resident if 1 UK tie (or more) Resident if 2 UK ties (or more)
183 or more Automatically resident Automatically resident

TX: Taxation:
Example 1:
For 2013-14 Nigel has spent too long in the UK to be automatically treated as non-resident, and will not
automatically be treated as resident because he does not meet the only home test
Nigel has not been resident in the UK during the three previous tax years, and was in the UK between
121 and 182 days. He is therefore not resident in the UK for 2013-14 as the only UK tie is the house in
the UK which is made use of.
It is therefore more difficult for a person leaving the UK to become non-resident then it is for a person
arriving in the UK to remain non-resident.
A day in the UK is any day in which a person is present in the UK at midnight.
The table will be given in the tax rates and allowances section of the examination paper.
The detailed rules are quite complex, especially those in regard to work and having a home in the UK.
These more complex aspects are not examinable at Paper TX (UK)
Example 2:
James is in the UK for 40 days during the tax year 2014-15. He has not previously been resident in the
UK.
Kate is in the UK for 60 days during the tax year 2014-15. Her only home is in the UK.
Maggie has always been resident in the UK, being in the UK for more than 300 days each tax year. On 6
April 2014 Maggie purchased an overseas apartment where she lived for most of the tax year 2014-15.
She also has a house in the UK where her husband and children live. During the tax year 2014-15 Maggie
visited the UK for a total of 80 days, staying in her UK house.
Nigel has not previously been resident in the UK. Being in the UK for less than 20 days each tax year. On
6 April 2014 he purchased a house in the UK and during the tax year 2014-15 stayed in the UK for a total
of 160 days. Nigel also has an overseas house which was where he stayed for the remainder of the tax
year 2014-15.
James:
For 2014-15 James will automatically be treated as not resident in the UK. He has not been resident
during the three previous tax years, and has spent less than 46 days in the UK.
Kate:
For 2013 -14 Kate will automatically be treated as resident in the UK. She has spent too long in the UK to
be automatically treated as non-resident, and her only home is in the UK

TX: Taxation:
Maggie:
For 2013-14 Maggie has spent too long in the UK to be automatically treated as non-resident and will
not automatically be treated as resident because she does not meet the only home test.
Maggie has been resident in the UK during the three previous tax years, and was in the UK between 46
and 90 days. She is therefore resident in the UK for 2013-14 as a result of her three UK ties:
o Close family in the UK
o A house in the UK which is made use of.
o In the UK for more than 90 days during the previous two tax years

Miscellaneous Handouts:
Structures and building allowance
(SBA):
Example#1:
Hipster Ltd prepares accounts to 31 March. On 1 July 2021 the company purchased a newly constructed
factory from a builder for £470,000 (including land of £110,000). The factory was brought into use on 1
September 2021.
The qualifying expenditure for SBA is £360,000 (470,000 – 110,000). The factory was brought into use on1
September 2021, so the SBA for the year ended 31 March 2022 is £6,300 (360,000 at 3% x 7/12).
An allowance of£10,800 (360,000 at 3%) will be given in subsequent years.

Relief is also given for the cost of subsequent improvements, or where a building is renovated orconverted.
Example#2:
Ballpoint Ltd prepares accounts to 31 March. The company renovated a disused warehouse (originally
purchased in 2011) at a cost of £82,000, with the warehouse subsequently brought into use on 1 January
2022.
The renovation expenditure qualifies for relief. As the warehouse was brought into use on 1 January2022, the
SBA for the year ended 31 March 2022 is £615 (82,000 at 3% x 3/12).
The original cost of the warehouse does not qualify for the SBA, being purchased prior to 29 October 2018.
Even if it had qualified, the SBA for the renovation expenditure would have been kept entirely separate
from the SBA on the original cost.
Unlike plant and machinery, there is no balancing charge or balancing allowance when a building (or structure)
that has qualified for the SBA is sold. Instead, the purchaser simply continues to claim the 3%allowance for the
remainder of the 33⅓ year period based on original cost.
However, on a disposal, the allowances that have been claimed are effectively clawed back by adding
them to the sales proceeds in order to determine the chargeable gain or allowable loss arising.
Example#3:
Continuing with example 17.
Hipster Ltd sold its factory to Gentrified Ltd on 31 March 2022 for £500,000 (including land of £120,000).
Gentrified Ltd also prepares accounts to 31 March.
The sale of the factory will not affect Hipster Ltd’s SBA claim for the year ended 31 March 2022. From the
year ended 31 March 2023 onwards, Gentrified Ltd will claim £10,800 (360,000 at 3%) annually based on the
original cost to Hipster Ltd. The SBA will run for the remaining 32 years and nine months ofthe 33⅓ year
period that commenced on 1 September 2021.
Hipster Ltd’s sale proceeds of £500,000 will be increased by the allowance claimed of £6,300. Thechargeable
gain on the disposal will therefore be £36,300 (500,000 + 6,300 – 470,000).
You should assume that for any question involving the purchase (as opposed to a new construction) of a
building, the SBA is not available unless stated otherwise.
