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.
Charles was provided with fuel for private use between 6 August 2022 and 5 April 2023.
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.
The percentage used in the calculation is exactly the same as that used for calculating the related company
car benefit.

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
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.
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%
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.
The cost of the machinery purchased on 2 May 2021 includes £10,000 spent on strengthening the
factory floor to accommodate the new machinery.
The motor car purchased on 28 June 2021 for £13,200 was a new car and has a zero

Mr. X sold one old van doing the year which he bought 3 years ago.
Cost of van = 25000 and D.P = 20000.
Required: Capital allowance?
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.

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:
If Winifred uses the normal basis her trading profit for the year ended 5 April 2022 will be £41557
calculated as follows.
£ £
Revenue 62600
Expenses
Motor expenses
(4800 x 40%) 1920
Other expenses 13300
Capital allowances 5823 (21043)

Trading profit 41557
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
business is a small hotel or guest house. The private use adjustment for food and light and heat can be
calculated on a flat rate basis according to the number of occupants. For example with two occupants
the private use adjustment would be £ 6000 per year (the relevant figure will be provided as part of an
examination question). The flat rate adjustment does not include other property expenses such as rent
or mortgage (loan) interest.
Discovery Assessment:
Later HMRC discover any under payment of tax
o Within 4 years from the end of tax year (without any reason)
o 6 years for careless understatement
o 20 years for deliberate
Disputes:
o For direct tax than appoint case worker
o For indirect tax, you directly appeal to tribunals.
o You can appeal against decisions of caseworker within 30 days
o First Tier tribunals: for normal cases
o Upper tribunals: for complex cases or famous personalities involved
o If not satisfied with upper tribunals, then go to Court of Appeal.
o If you are a tax lawyer & tax consultant and giving advice to your client of tax evasion, then
maximum penalty of £50,000.

30 days to 6 months= 5% of unpaid tax.
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:
Question:
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.

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.
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:

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.

Business Relief:
Business Asset Disposal relief:
Entrepreneurs’ relief has been renamed as Business asset disposal relief.
Business asset disposal relief can be claimed when an individual disposes of a business or a part of a
business. For the tax year 2022-23, the lifetime qualifying limit is £1million.
Gains qualifying for business asset disposal relief are taxed at a rate of 10% regardless of the level of a
person’s taxable income.
Investors' relief:
Investors’ relief effectively extends business asset disposal relief to external investors in trading
companies which are not listed (unquoted) on a stock exchange.
However, investors’ relief has its own separate £10 million lifetime limit (compared to the business asset
disposal relief lifetime limit of £1 million). Qualifying gains are taxed at a rate of 10%. To qualify for
investors’ relief, shares must be:
o Newly issued shares acquired by subscription.
o Owned for at least three years after 6 April 2017.
With certain exceptions (such as being an unremunerated director) the investor must not be an
employee or a director of the company whilst owning the shares.

If any part of proceeds is used, the gain immediately chargeable can be limited to the amount not used.
The rest of the gain is then deducted from the cost of the replacement.
Damage to an asset:
If an asset is damaged then the receipt of any compensation or insurance monies received will normally
be treated as a part disposal.
If all the proceeds are applied in restoring the asset the taxpayer can elect to disregard the part disposal.

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.
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
£ £
Investment Property 425000
Mortgage (180000)
245000
Ordinary shares in Herbert plc 54000
Building society deposits 25000
Proceeds of life assurance policy 10000
424000
Credit card debits 700
Funeral expenses 4300

Chargeable estate 419000
IHT liability 325000 at nil %
94000 at 40% 37600
o The promise to pay the friend’s legal fee is not deductible as it is purely gratuitous (not made for
valuable consideration).
o Executional fees not allowed.
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.
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.
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:
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.
Timothy’s wife died on 5 May 2009. She used all of her nil rate band.
Timothy’s IHT liability is:
£
Chargeable estate 850,000
IHT liability
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.
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.
30,000
Death estate £
Chargeable estate 775,000
IHT liability
- 175,000 at nil% 0
- 600,000 at 40% 240,000

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.

Required:
Calculate the inheritance tax that will be payable as a result of Blu Reddy’s gift to the trust, and the additional
inheritance tax that would be payable if Blu were to die on 31 May 2025. You should ignore annual exemptions,
and should assume that the nil rate band for the tax year 2020/21 remains unchanged. (6 marks)
Total: 10 marks
JAMES (ADAPTED)
James died on 22 January 2020. He had made the following gifts during his lifetime:

(2) On 14 May 2018, a cash gift of £420,000 to his daughter.
(3) On 2 August 2018, a gift of a property valued at £260,000 to a trust. No lifetime inheritance tax was payable in
respect of this gift because it was covered by the nil rate band. By the time of James’ death on 22 January 2020,
the property had increased in value to £310,000.
On 22 January 2020, James’ estate was valued at £870,000. Under the terms of his will, James left his entire estate

Required:
(a) Calculate the inheritance tax which will be payable as a result of James’ death, and state who will be
responsible for paying the tax. (6 marks)
(b) Explain why it might have been beneficial for inheritance tax purposes if James had left a portion of his estate
to his nephew rather than to his brother. (2 marks)
(c) Explain why it might be advantageous for inheritance tax purposes for a person to make lifetime gifts even
when such gifts are made within seven years of death.
Notes:
(1) Your answer should include a calculation of James’ inheritance tax saving from making the gift of property to
the trust on 2 August 2018 rather than retaining the property until his death.
(2) You are not expected to consider lifetime exemptions in this part of the question. (2 marks)
(Total: 10 marks)

History Test:
If in any month trader gets to know that is last 12 months taxable supplies excluding VAT exceeded
£85000. Then trader has 30 days -time from the end of this month to inform HMRC. And HMRC will
make him register from the very next day of these 30 days.
Future Test:
If in any month traders taxable supplies is expected to cross £85000 just for this one month only then
trader must inform HMRC before the end of this month and HMRC will register him from the beginning
of this same month.

offered in respect of these debts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).

DENZIL DYER
Denzil Dyer has been a self-employed printer since 2008. He has recently registered for value added tax (VAT).
Denzil’s sales consist of printed leaflets, some of which are standard rated and some of which are zero rated. He sells
to both VAT registered customers and to non-VAT registered customers.
Customers making an order of more than £500 are given a discount of 5% from the normal selling price. Denzil also
offers a discount of 2.5% of the amount payable to those customers that pay within one month of the date of the
sales invoice.
All of Denzil’s printing supplies are purchased from a VAT registered supplier. He pays by credit card and receives a
VAT invoice. However, Denzil also purchases various office supplies by cash without receiving any invoices. Denzil
does not use the annual accounting scheme, the cash accounting scheme or the flat rate scheme.

(a) Explain why it is important for Denzil to correctly identify whether a sale is standard rated or whether it is zero
rated. (2 marks)
(b) Explain the VAT implications of the two types of discount that Denzil gives or offers to his customers. (2 marks)
(c) Advise Denzil of the conditions that will have to be met in order for him to recover input VAT. You are not

customers do not take it VAT is therefore calculated on 95% (100%-5%) of the sales value.
Input VAT cannot be claimed in respect of the materials used in constructing Sandy’s private residence
since the goods are not used for business purposes.
Input VAT can be recovered on services supplied in the six months prior to registration, so the office
equipment claim can be back dated to July 2021.
The question says assume that the rate of 20% applies throughout.
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:
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:
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.
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
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).
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.
