    In the first section of PTC questions on Benefits in kind, regarding the car benefit I Used 14000 instead of 21000.

    In section 2 regarding the painting from the Uncle I calculated as a gain. Apparently I was told that the Gain is exempt

    The calculations regarding the gain on the House is probably wrong.

    Would I fail the exam because of these errors in the exam.

    Because it was given to his family and therefore there is no gain arising but In the exam I treated it has a gain because an uncle is a relative.

    Confused now - there's no gain when it is given to his family as it is inherited on death - but surely there's a gain when he sells it???

    That is what I thought and having looked at the question I think you are correct. But I am sure my tutor said that the gain is exempt.

    I agree with this from what I understand - there is a gain when it is sold!!

    I am not worrying now as when everyone has different answers you start to worry - possibly for no reason!! The best thing we can all do is wait until February and see what happens!! I couldn't even remember the answers I put when I got home, let alone now!! :001_tongue: I am keeping my fingers crossed that we have all done well and passed!! :001_smile:

    There is a gain when the painting is sold. If the deemed acquisition cost had been lower than 6000 and/or the proceeds were less than 6000, then the various chattel exemptions would have come into play but, in this case, there is a normally calculated gain
