Re: vat on carpets
I'd be worried if the owenrs of a carpet shop thought they were exempt from VAT. Two thoughts strike here though, one that the particular shop is below the threshold and so they're not VAT registered and therefore not charging VAT, so they view their carpets as 'exempt from VAT'.
The other possibility is they are talking about VAT recovery; if you're involved in a zero rated new build house that you're constructing for sale then although you can recover morst of the VAT you incur you are blocked from recovering VAT on incorporated items that are not 'building materials', the most common being white goods, fitted furniture (apart from kitchen units), and ...carpets.

Re: Cash & Treasury Management Assement 1 - Task 7 B
@HarryNK The total interest for the ten years would 140%. But the question required the annual interest rate so you just need to divide it by the number of years to give you the correct answer of 14%.
Just read the question and look for the traps. Good luck.

Re: PDSY - emails to students
Hi Mike
I hope you are well. Long time!
These feedback surveys are part of AAT's regulatory and quality assurance processes where we ask for direct feedback on our assessments.
Students are asked a series of questions based on their experience of the assessment.
We collect feedback on all of our assessments and all responses are completely anonymous.
I hope that helps
Neil

Re: Synoptic assessment
Hey guys..
Seen a lot of you mentioning the questions in synoptic are different to the questions in the books etc.
AAT do tell Osbourne/ Kaplan/ BPP what to put in the textbooks etc however its up to the writers of the book to include it in.
My view is that the writers themselves don't really know how to approach a CBA question as I only found 1 question of this in a BPP book.
The CBA table requires you to list all the costs to the new proposed system, then list all the benefits to the new proposed system. There are columns in the table to do this. Thats what I did for this question and I passed the exam with 77%.

Re: Synoptic assessment
I took this exam on 22nd... I found it very difficult and it was nothing like the practice assessments. Cost benefit analysis in a table form? I didn't even know what the questions were looking for which made it very difficult.Everyone who got that version of the synoptic exam is complaining about the same things so surely that will mean they will have to lower the pass mark?
I don't understand how AAT can put things in the synoptic assessment that you are not even taught through course books. It's unfair and unrealistic. I hope they do something about the pass mark considering so many people have negative things to say about it.
