1.7b
tax due 31/1/22

31/3/22
7 months late
5% penalty after 30 days
5% penalty after 6 months
Total penalty = 10% x £12,000 = £1,200

31/3/22
14 months late
Penalties as above, plus 5% after 12 months
Total penalty = 1,200 + (5% x 12,000) = £1,800


1.10a
2015/16 disposal does not qualify for Entrepreneurs Relief
2020/21 disposal does qualify, so tax rate is 10%
Tax = 10%(500,000 - 12,300) = £48,770

1.10b
Relief available for assets acquired up to 12 month before disposal (ie. the factory)
£350,000 proceeds from factory but only £325,000 invested, so £25,000 (350,000 - 325,000) chargeable
Relief = 75,000 - 25,000 = £50,000
