I cannot for the life of me understand why the £4,000 loan is a benefit. I thought all loans under £10,000 were exempt?
I have seen this task posted twice in this forum and no-one asks about the loan so I'm thinking my understanding must be wrong. I have gone back over the Kaplan and Osbourne textbooks and still can't understand. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please.
PS, my exam is tomorrow morning

I think it's a benefit because if the loan (of any amount) is written off by the employer, then the whole amount is assessable.0

I used Osborne books as well and it's just one small sentence towards the top of page 4.7. If your book is the same as mine, it's the sentence just above the example.0

OK, but I don't see in the question that it was written off?0

It is in the question information - look at 1 January 2019 entry

Ahhh, I knew it would be something silly, thank you for pointing it out!0

It went well, much easier than the mocks I did anyway.
All of my larger tasks were on the easier side of all the practise questions I had done. For example my Inheritance tax task didn't have a lifetime PET and the most difficult part was working out that his deceased wife had used 60% of her NRB. No charity donations.
My shares question had 2 sales, 1 matched to the pool and 1 matched to a purchase 20 days later.
I had to do 2 income tax computations. 1 needed the personal allowance calculating as she earned over £100k and the other was very easy, she was a basic rate tax payer.
All in all it was much easier than expected!0
