Can someone help me with this one question on the 2nd Practice Assessment task 1.3? I have my exam tomorrow and it's this one question I cannot seem to answer.

Foday had receieved a loan of £5,000 on Jan 1st 2020. He recieved a second loan of £8,000 on 1st December 2020. The Loans are interest free and he has not made any repayments. What is the taxable amount?

Thanks in advance

    Average method: (Loan@start of year + Loan@end of year)/2

    Loan@start of year = 5,000
    Loan@end of year = 13,000 (5,000+8,000)

    Thefore: (5,000+13,000)/2 = 9,000

    9,000 x 2.25% (HMRC rate) = 202.5
