You should assume that today’s date is 20 March 2009.

Sammi Smith is a director of Smark Ltd. The company has given her the choice of being provided with a leased company motor car or alternatively being paid additional director’s remuneration and then privately leasing the same motor car herself.

Company motor car

The motor car will be provided throughout the tax year 2009–10, and will be leased by Smark Ltd at an annual cost of ￡26,540. The motor car will be petrol powered, will have a list price of ￡92,000, and will have an official CO2 emission rate of 320 grams per kilometre.

The lease payments will cover all the costs of running the motor car except for fuel. Smark Ltd will not provide Sammi with any fuel for private journeys.

Additional director’s remuneration

As an alternative to having a company motor car, Sammi will be paid additional gross director’s remuneration of ￡26,000 during the tax year 2009–10. She will then privately lease the motor car at an annual cost of ￡26,540.

Other information

The amount of business journeys that will be driven by Sammi will be immaterial and can therefore be ignored.

Sammi’s current annual director’s remuneration is in excess of ￡100,000. Smark Ltd prepares its accounts to 5 April, and pays corporation tax at the full rate of 28%. The lease of the motor car will commence on 6 April 2009.

Required:

(a) Advise Sammi Smith of the income tax and national insurance contribution implications for the tax year 2009–10 if she (1) is provided with the company motor car, and (2) receives additional director’s remuneration of ￡26,000. (5 marks)

(b) Advise Smark Ltd of the corporation tax and national insurance contribution implications for the year ended 5 April 2010 if the company (1) provides Sammi Smith with the company motor car, and (2) pays Sammi Smith additional director’s remuneration of ￡26,000. Note: you should ignore value added tax (VAT). (5 marks)

(c) Determine which of the two alternatives is the most beneficial from each of the respective points of view of Sammi Smith and Smark Ltd. (5 marks)

Goff Green has been a self-employed manufacturer of golf equipment since 6 April 2000. For the year ended 5 April 2010 he made a trading loss of ￡85,000. Goff’s recent trading profits are as follows:

For each of the tax years from 2005–06 to 2009–10 Goff received gross building society interest of ￡3,800.

On 16 June 2009 Goff disposed of an investment and this resulted in a chargeable gain of ￡19,700. He disposed of another investment on 19 January 2010 and this resulted in a capital loss of ￡4,800.

Required:

(a) Calculate Goff Green’s taxable income and taxable gains for each of the tax years from 2005–06 to 2009–10 on the assumption that he relieves the maximum possible amount of the trading loss of ￡85,000 for the year ended 5 April 2010 as early as possible, but without unnecessarily wasting his personal allowances. Your answer should clearly show the amount of the trading loss that is unrelieved.

Note: you should assume that the tax allowances for the tax year 2009–10 apply throughout. (7 marks)

(b) Assuming that for the year ended 5 April 2011 Goff Green will make a trading profit of ￡40,000, explain why it would probably not be beneficial for him to make a loss relief claim against the chargeable gain of ￡19,700 arising on the disposal of the investment on 16 June 2009.

Note: you should assume that the tax rates and allowances for the tax year 2009–10 will continue to apply. (3 marks)

(a) The following information relates to Crosswire a publicly listed company.

Summarised statements of financial position as at:

The following information is available:

(i) During the year to 30 September 2009, Crosswire embarked on a replacement and expansion programme for its non-current assets. The details of this programme are:

On 1 October 2008 Crosswire acquired a platinum mine at a cost of $5 million. A condition of mining the

platinum is a requirement to landscape the mining site at the end of its estimated life of ten years. The

present value of this cost at the date of the purchase was calculated at $3 million (in addition to the

purchase price of the mine of $5 million).

Also on 1 October 2008 Crosswire revalued its freehold land for the first time. The credit in the revaluation

reserve is the net amount of the revaluation after a transfer to deferred tax on the gain. The tax rate applicable to Crosswire for deferred tax is 20% per annum.

On 1 April 2009 Crosswire took out a finance lease for some new plant. The fair value of the plant was

$10 million. The lease agreement provided for an initial payment on 1 April 2009 of $2·4 million followed

by eight six-monthly payments of $1·2 million commencing 30 September 2009.

Plant disposed of during the year had a carrying amount of $500,000 and was sold for $1·2 million. The

remaining movement on the property, plant and equipment, after charging depreciation of $3 million, was

the cost of replacing plant.

(ii) From 1 October 2008 to 31 March 2009 a further $500,000 was spent completing the development

project at which date marketing and production started. The sales of the new product proved disappointing

and on 30 September 2009 the development costs were written down to $1 million via an impairment

charge.

(iii) During the year ended 30 September 2009, $4 million of the 10% convertible loan notes matured. The

loan note holders had the option of redemption at par in cash or to exchange them for equity shares on the

basis of 20 new shares for each $100 of loan notes. 75% of the loan-note holders chose the equity option.

Ignore any effect of this on the other equity reserve.

All the above items have been treated correctly according to International Financial Reporting Standards.

(iv) The finance costs are made up of:

Required:

(i) Prepare a statement of the movements in the carrying amount of Crosswire’s non-current assets for the

year ended 30 September 2009; (9 marks)

(ii) Calculate the amounts that would appear under the headings of ‘cash flows from investing activities’

and ‘cash flows from financing activities’ in the statement of cash flows for Crosswire for the year ended

30 September 2009.

Note: Crosswire includes finance costs paid as a financing activity. (8 marks)

(b) A substantial shareholder has written to the directors of Crosswire expressing particular concern over the

deterioration of the company’s return on capital employed (ROCE)

Required:

Calculate Crosswire’s ROCE for the two years ended 30 September 2008 and 2009 and comment on the

apparent cause of its deterioration.

Note: ROCE should be taken as profit before interest on long-term borrowings and tax as a percentage of equity plus loan notes and finance lease obligations (at the year end). (8 marks)
