You always get wear and tear on the furnished lettings. Council tax and rates only matter if they are paid by the landlord, then you deduct them from the gross income, then times by 10%0

Thanks for that, any one know the figures for shares?
Just how much they where and what they went for as i member the rest.
Also for 1.6, Did everyone say he can submit by 31/01/09 and also the living benefit by just saying 1)Annual value 2)COst-75000 * 6.25% and that it gets time apportioned?
Thanks
I said 10% of the net salary because it is a job related!!!
?????0 -
I thought submission was 31 October if on paper and 31 Jan if filing online ooops may have lost a mark there but I did put both for answer and explained0

I said that if it was a contractual requirement of the job that he had to live there whilst in Belfast(?)then tax would only be payable on his heat & light. but that if he stayed there from choice, then value of house less £75k etc etc.0 -

My book doesnt say that, so maybe the book is wrong....
I will be suing BPP...
It says that wear & tear is allowed in place of claiming for replacement furniture. The question did not suggest that furniture was replaced0 -
If you look on Dec 06 paper, the furnished letting is given W+T allowance evern tho it doesnt say it in the question or that council tax/ rates are paid.
However the examiner cant let you fail the paper just by not including it so dont worry.0 -
Karenv - Your book is correct, thats the idea of wear and tear - for furniture. If you buy furniture it doesnt go on the property income as it is capital.
Wear and tear is a bit like depreciation!0 -

No the wear & tear allce in this paper were allowed for the storm repairs.0 -

December 2006????? You cannot relay on such an old exam paper. Tax and rules changes! It is a different tax year0 -
For the 1.6 re the accommodation, I put that it was not work related because I thought it wasn't like a caretaker or vicar who has to live on site, so I put annual value/rent, expensive charge, 20% of furniture and cost of bills. I did put 'assuming it is not work related'.
However I think this may be wrong as some other people I know put it was work related so the only charge is 20% for furniture and cost of bills, but limited to 10% of other income.
Any ideas which is right???
Also for 1.1 I had a mind block and took the 2995 off the cost of the benefit before I time apportioned it by 3/12 (so worked out on the list price of £27995 did the 35%, then minused 2995, then x 3/12), which I now know I should have taken the £2995 off the list price first. Will I lose many marks for this?0 -

I DID THE SAME!!! We will lose marks but we got the 35% and time apportioned right so leway is there!! I also didnt gross up the 2400 on pension payments to his tax band, and said work related for 1.6. There all wrong but pretty sure there is enough there to pass...hopefully!0 -

I got the BPP text book (unit 19 personal taxation FA2007 for exams in 2008) in front of me and on page 61 it saysA taxpayer can claim a WEAR AND TEAR ALLOWANCE instead. This allowance is equal to:
10% [ rents - (water rates & council tax if paid by landlord)]
and is allowable as a deduction in place of claiming relief for the replacement of furniture.0 -

The rent wasn't work related this was seperate income for example trading profits, I think!!!! thats what I put anyway??0 -
Section 1:
I did not do anything with the private pension.
In regards to the car it has stated, the company would give x amount to buy a car, i presumed that that x was less the total cost and rest was paid private?
Looks like i made 2 errors there?
Section 2:
Shares seemed easy enough.
House & Antiques- exempt
Erm... the painting was the hard one, taper relief on two elements of cost and then taper relief of the total at the end? I think i screwed the painting up.
IF I did make these errors, would this warrant a fail?0 -
Why is it incorrect? I did the same0
-
Thanks thats the book I have and yes on page 61 it says exactly that.
But the question we were given didnt say that any furniture had been replaced,
Yeah but its an annual allowance instead of having to keep track of what you replace each year. You can alternatively claim the total value of what you replace within the year, but need to keep receipts etc. for this.0 -

All the questions i have come across have actually stated that the taxpayer had chosen to claim wear & tear allce though, and this didnt.0
