Answer to example 6
As Tony is a higher rate tax payer on his employment income, he has a tax liability on his property income of 40%.
Kathy has no income and as such is wasting her personal allowance and basic rate banding.
It would be better if Kathy were to own the Property such that the property income is assessed on her. The property income of
£5,000 will be covered by her personal allowance, so no liability will occur.
This will save the couple tax of £2,000 (£5,000 × 40%).

Answer to example 21
The tax adjusted trading profit assessable amounts will be as follows:
£
2008/09 Year to 31/3/2009 72,000
2009/10 12-month period to new accounting date of 30/6/2009
1/7/2008 to 31/3/2009 – 72,000 × 9⁄12 54,000
Period to 30/6/2009 16,000
70,000
2010/11 Year to 30/6/2010 90,000

The profits of £54,000 assessed in 2009/10 are overlap profits, since they were also assessed in 2008/09. They will be carried
forward and would normally be offset when Anne ceases trading.

Answer to example 22
The tax adjusted trading profit assessable amounts will be as follows:
£
2006/07 1/7/2006 to 5/4/2007 – 27,000 × 9⁄12 20,250
The profits of £20,250 are overlap profits representing 9 months of profit.
2007/08 Year to 30/6/2007 27,000
2008/09 Year to 30/6/2008 36,000
2009/10 15-month period to 30/9/2009 45,000
Less: Overlap profits 20,250 × 3⁄9 (6,750)
38,250

2010/11 Year to 30/9/2010 54,000

In 2009/10 profits for 15 months are assessed. Because the normal basis of assessment is that only 12 months profits are
assessed, Tony is allowed to offset 3 months worth of his overlap profits that arose when he commenced trading. These overlap
profits are for a period of 9 months, so the offset is based on a fraction of 3⁄9.

(b) The most beneficial way for Ken to relieve his loss would be:
The trading loss of £20,833 for 2007/08, should be relieved under special opening year loss relief, against 2004/05 Total
Income of £60,000; and the trading loss of £29,167 for 2008/09 should be relieved under special opening year loss relief
against 2005/06 Total Income of £60,000.
This gives relief as early as possible at a rate of 40%, and avoids wasting personal allowances.

Pension Contributions
Answer to example 32
The maximum pension contributions Tony can make are the greater of
£3,600
100% x 20,000= £20,000
His maximum contributions are therefore £20,000. This will be paid net of 20% tax at source i.e. he will only pay £16,000 into his
pension fund and HMRC will contribute £4,000.
If he were to contribute more than £20,000 into the fund he would only receive tax relief as above
As he is only a basic rate taxpayer then there is no inclusion in his income tax computation. You only include the contribution
if he is a higher rate taxpayer by extending the basic rate and additional rate bands.

business.

Answer to example 34
(a) Frederick
Asset is a non wasting chattel, cost and proceeds are less than £6,000 so it is exempt.

Answer to example 36
The asset is damaged - This is a part disposal but as all of the insurance proceeds are used for restoration and an election is
made, the proceeds can be rolled over against the allowable cost when the asset is eventually sold.
June 2011 - No gain
Date of disposal is June 2011 when insurance money is received.

When the asset is eventually sold:


£
Proceeds X
Acquisition cost 500,000
Less insurance proceeds (60,000)
(440,000)
Restoration costs (70,000)
Capital Gain X

If no election had been made then a capital gain would have arisen in June 2011 as follows:
£
Proceeds 60,000
60, 000 (28,302)
Cost £500, 000 ×
60, 000 + 1, 000, 000
Capital Gain 31,698

On a subsequent sale the acquisition cost will be


500,000 – 28,302 = 471,698
Also a deduction for the restoration costs can be made of £70,000

Note 1: The capital loss b/f and the annual exemption are offset against the gains not qualifying for entrepreneurs’ relief as
they will be the subject to a higher tax rate than gains qualifying for entrepreneurs’ relief.
Note 2: Although Kit has some remaining basic rate band after her taxable income, this is deemed to have been utilised.by
gains qualifying for entrepreneurs’ relief.
Note 3: The maximum gains on which entrepreneurs’ relief is available is £5,000,000, so all of the £1,100,000 is eligible. The
remaining lifetime limit of (£5,000,000 – £1,100,000) £3,900,000 is available for future gains qualifying for entrepreneurs’

Carry forward y/e 31/12/2011 (4,000)

Answer to example 53
9⁄12 × Z Ltd’s loss of £120,000 = £90,000
9⁄12 × T Ltd’s profit of £100,000 = £75,000.
The maximum is therefore £75,000
The claim is made by the claimant company; the consent of the surrendering company is required.
Answer to example 54
J Ltd should claim group relief of £50,000 for y/e 31 March 2011 to reduce profits to the small profit limit.
K Ltd should relieve £40,000 against y/e 31 March 2010 under the carryback provisions to reduce profits to the small profit limit.
The balance of loss £30,000 is best relieved under the carryback provisions as it results in an immediate tax refund (note that the
group relief claim is made first, and the balance of the loss is dealt with under current and carryback relief ).

Summary
y/e 31/3/2010 y/e 31/3/2011

VAT
Answer to example 60
Taxable turnover in first 12 months 1/6/2010 – 31/5/2011 was £57,000 (£4,000 × 10) +(£8,500 × 2).
The position thereafter is:
End of June 2011 57,000 + 8,500 – 4,000 = 61,500
End of July 2011 61,500 + 8,500 – 4,000 = 66,000
End of August 2011 66,000 + 8,500 – 4,000 = 70,500
YR Ltd exceeds the threshold at the end August 2011.
Notify HMRC by 30 September 2011. Registration is effective from 1 October 2011.

Answer to example 61
From 1 June 2010 to 31 March 2011 the value of Dolphin Ltd’s taxable supplies was £30,000.
So it is not yet required to register using the historical test.
But using the future test on 1/4/11 the company expects its taxable supplies in the next 30 days to exceed £70,000.
It is required to register immediately ie from 1 April 2011.
Notify HMRC by 1 May 2011.

24 PAPER F6 – REVISION ANSWERS JUNE 2011 EXAMINATIONS

Answer to example 65
The advantages of group VAT registration are:
• No VAT is accounted for on transactions between group members within the VAT group
• Only one VAT return is submitted for the group; therefore an administrative advantage.
• The group can choose which companies to include or exclude (beneficial to exclude a zero rated company)
The disadvantages of group VAT registration are:
• The limits for Cash and Annual Accounting schemes will apply to the group as a whole and not on an individual company
basis.
• Joint and several liability of each company in the group
• Possible administration issues collecting information to be passed on to the representative member.
Two or more companies can register as a group for VAT purposes. They must be under common control of a third company
and resident in the UK
The group is treated for VAT purposes as if it were a single company registered for VAT on its own.
A representative member of the group is appointed and this company is responsible for completing and submitting a single
VAT return and paying the VAT on behalf of the group.
All companies in the VAT group are jointly and severally liable for any VAT liabilities of the group.

Answer to example 66
• The exports to a New Zealand business customer will be zero rated as it is an export of goods to a non EU country
• The dispatch to German non business customer will be standard rated, so output VAT will be £50,000 × 20% = £10,000
• The import of £150,000 of goods from an Australian business supplies will result in Mars Ltd paying VAT @ 20% ie £150,000×
20% = £30,000 to HMRC at point of entry into the UK. (This is assuming that Mars Ltd does not use the duty deferment
scheme). This can be then recovered as input VAT.
• The acquisition of goods valued at £75,000 from a business supplier in France will result in Mars Ltd accounting for output
VAT of £75,000 × 20% = £15,000 as a ‘self-supply’. The ‘self supply’ output VAT of £15,000 can also be recovered as input VAT.
