On 1 April 2009 Pandar purchased 80% of the equity shares in Salva. The acquisition was through a share exchange of three shares in Pandar for every five shares in Salva. The market prices of Pandar’s and Salva’s shares at 1 April2009 were $6 per share an

(b) On 31 May 2007, Leigh purchased property, plant and equipment for $4 million. The supplier has agreed to

accept payment for the property, plant and equipment either in cash or in shares. The supplier can either choose

1·5 million shares of the company to be issued in six months time or to receive a cash payment in three months

time equivalent to the market value of 1·3 million shares. It is estimated that the share price will be $3·50 in

three months time and $4 in six months time.

Additionally, at 31 May 2007, one of the directors recently appointed to the board has been granted the right to

choose either 50,000 shares of Leigh or receive a cash payment equal to the current value of 40,000 shares at

the settlement date. This right has been granted because of the performance of the director during the year and

is unconditional at 31 May 2007. The settlement date is 1 July 2008 and the company estimates the fair value

of the share alternative is $2·50 per share at 31 May 2007. The share price of Leigh at 31 May 2007 is $3 per

share, and if the director chooses the share alternative, they must be kept for a period of four years. (9 marks)

Required:

Discuss with suitable computations how the above share based transactions should be accounted for in the

financial statements of Leigh for the year ended 31 May 2007.

6 Assume today’s date is 16 April 2005.

Henry, aged 48, is the managing director of Happy Home Ltd, an unquoted UK company specialising in interior

design. He is wealthy in his own right and is married to Helen, who is 45 years old. They have two children – Stephen,

who is 19, and Sally who is 17.

As part of his salary, Henry was given 3,000 shares in Happy Home Ltd with an option to acquire a further 10,000

shares. The options were granted on 15 July 2003, shortly after the company started trading, and were not part of

an approved share option scheme. The free shares were given to Henry on the same day.

The exercise price of the share options was set at the then market value of ￡1·00 per share. The options are not

capable of being exercised after 10 years from the date of grant. The company has been successful, and the current

value of the shares is now ￡14·00 per share. Another shareholder has offered to buy the shares at their market value,

so Henry exercised his share options on 14 April 2005 and will sell the shares next week, on 20 April 2005.

With the company growing in size, Henry wishes to recruit high quality staff, but the company lacks the funds to pay

them in cash. Henry believes that giving new employees the chance to buy shares in the company would help recruit

staff, as they could share in the growth in value of Happy Home Ltd. Henry has heard that there is a particular share

scheme that is suitable for small, fast growing companies. He would like to obtain further information on how such

a scheme would work.

Henry has accumulated substantial assets over the years. The family house is owned jointly with Helen, and is worth

￡650,000. Henry has a ￡250,000 mortgage on the house. In addition, Henry has liquid assets worth ￡340,000

and Helen has shares in quoted companies currently worth ￡125,000. Henry has no forms of insurance, and believes

he should make sure that his wealth and family are protected. He is keen to find out what options he should be

considering.

Required:

(a) (i) State how the gift of the 3,000 shares in Happy Home Ltd was taxed. (1 mark)

(b) The directors of Carver Ltd are aware that some of the company’s shareholders want to realise the value in their

shares immediately. Accordingly, instead of investing in the office building or the share portfolio they are

considering two alternative strategies whereby, following the sale of the company’s business, a payment will be

made to the company’s shareholders.

(i) Liquidate the company. The payment by the liquidator would be ￡126 per share.

(ii) The payment of a dividend of ￡125 per share following which a liquidator will be appointed. The payment

by the liquidator to the shareholders would then be ￡1 per share.

The company originally issued 20,000 ￡1 ordinary shares at par value to 19 members of the Cutler family.

Following a number of gifts and inheritances there are now 41 shareholders, all of whom are family members.

The directors have asked you to attend a meeting to set out the tax implications of these two alternative strategies

for each of the two main groups of shareholders: adults with shareholdings of more than 500 shares and children

with shareholdings of 200 shares or less.

Required:

Prepare notes explaining:

– the amount chargeable to tax; and

– the rates of tax that will apply

in respect of each of the two strategies for each of the two groups of shareholders ready for your meeting

with the directors of Carver Ltd. You should assume that none of the shareholders will have any capital

losses either in the tax year 2007/08 or brought forward as at 5 April 2007. (10 marks)

Note:

You should assume that the rates and allowances for the tax year 2006/07 will continue to apply for the

foreseeable future.

2 Assume that today’s date is 1 July 2005.

Jan is aged 45 and single. He is of Danish domicile but has been working in the United Kingdom since 1 May 2004

and intends to remain in the UK for the medium to long term. Although Jan worked briefly in the UK in 1986, he

has forgotten how UK taxation works and needs some assistance before preparing his UK income tax return.

Jan’s salary from 1 May 2004 was ￡74,760 per annum. Jan also has a company car – a Jaguar XJ8 with a list price

of ￡42,550 including extras, and CO2 emissions of 242g/km. The car was available to him from 1 July 2004. Free

petrol is provided by the company. Jan has other taxable benefits amounting to ￡3,965.

Jan’s other 2004/05 income comprises:

￡

Dividend income from UK companies (cash received) 3,240

Interest received on an ISA account 230

Interest received on a UK bank account 740

Interest remitted from an offshore account (net of 15% withholding tax) 5,100

Income remitted from a villa in Portugal (net of 45% withholding tax) 4,598

The total interest arising on the offshore account was ￡9,000 (gross). In addition, Jan has not remitted other

Portuguese rental income arising in the year, totalling a further ￡1,500 (gross).

Jan informs you that his employer is thinking of providing him with rented accommodation while he looks for a house

to buy. The accommodation would be a two bedroom flat, valued at ￡155,000 with an annual value of ￡6,000. It

would be made available from 6 August 2005. The company will pay the rent of ￡600 per month for the first six

months. All other bills will be paid by Jan.

Jan also informs you that he has 25,000 ordinary shares in Gilet Ltd (‘Gilet’), an unquoted UK trading company. He

has held these shares since August 1986 when he bought 2,500 shares at ￡4.07 per share. In January 1994, a

bonus issue gave each shareholder nine shares for each ordinary share held. In the last week all Gilet’s shareholders

have received an offer from Jumper plc (‘Jumper’) who wishes to acquire the shares. Jumper has offered the following:

– 3 shares in Jumper (currently trading at ￡3.55 per share) for every 5 shares in Gilet, and

– 25p cash per share

Required:

(a) Calculate Jan’s 2004/05 income tax (IT) payable. (11 marks)

2 Graeme, aged 57, is married to Catherine, aged 58. They work as medical consultants, and both are higher rate

taxpayers. Barry, their son, is aged 32. Graeme, Catherine and Barry are all UK resident, ordinarily resident and

domiciled. Graeme has come to you for some tax advice.

Graeme has invested in shares for some time, in particular shares in Thistle Dubh Limited. He informs you of the

following transactions in Thistle Dubh Limited shares:

(i) In December 1986, on the death of his grandmother, he inherited 10,000 ￡1 ordinary shares in Thistle Dubh

Limited, an unquoted UK trading company providing food supplies for sporting events. The probate value of the

shares was 360p per share.

(ii) In March 1992, he took up a rights issue, buying one share for every two held. The price paid for the rights

shares was ￡10 per share.

(iii) In October 1999, the company underwent a reorganisation, and the ordinary shares were split into two new

classes of ordinary share – ‘T’ shares and ‘D’ shares, each with differing rights. Graeme received two ‘T’ and three

‘D’ shares for each original Thistle Dubh Limited share held. The market values for the ‘T’ shares and the ‘D’

shares on the date of reorganisation were 135p and 405p per share respectively.

(iv) On 1 May 2005, Graeme sold 12,000 ‘T’ shares. The market values for the ‘T’ shares and the ‘D’ shares on that

day were 300p and 600p per share respectively.

(v) In October 2005, Graeme sold all of his ‘D’ shares for ￡85,000.

(vi) The current market value of ‘T’ shares is 384p per share. The shares remain unquoted.

Graeme and Catherine have owned a holiday cottage in a remote part of the UK for many years. In recent years, they

have used the property infrequently, as they have taken their holidays abroad and the cottage has been let out as

furnished holiday accommodation.

Graeme and Catherine are now considering selling the UK country cottage and purchasing a holiday villa abroad.

Initially they plan to let this villa out on a furnished basis, but following their anticipated retirement, would expect to

occupy the property for a significant part of the year themselves, possibly moving to live in the villa permanently.

Required:

(a) Calculate the total chargeable gains arising on Graeme’s disposals of ‘T’ and ‘D’ ordinary shares in May and

October 2005 respectively. (7 marks)

(ii) Explain the income tax (IT), national insurance (NIC) and capital gains tax (CGT) implications arising on

the grant to and exercise by an employee of an option to buy shares in an unapproved share option

scheme and on the subsequent sale of these shares. State clearly how these would apply in Henry’s

case. (8 marks)

3 Spica, one of the director shareholders of Acrux Ltd, has been in dispute with the other shareholders over plans to

expand the company’s activities overseas. In order to resolve the position it has been agreed that Spica will sell her

shares back to the company. Once the purchase of her shares has taken place, the company intends to establish a

(a) The following figures have been calculated from the financial statements (including comparatives) of Barstead for

the year ended 30 September 2009:

increase in profit after taxation 80%

increase in (basic) earnings per share 5%

increase in diluted earnings per share 2%

Required:

Explain why the three measures of earnings (profit) growth for the same company over the same period can

give apparently differing impressions. (4 marks)

(b) The profit after tax for Barstead for the year ended 30 September 2009 was $15 million. At 1 October 2008 the company had in issue 36 million equity shares and a $10 million 8% convertible loan note. The loan note will mature in 2010 and will be redeemed at par or converted to equity shares on the basis of 25 shares for each $100 of loan note at the loan-note holders’ option. On 1 January 2009 Barstead made a fully subscribed rights issue of one new share for every four shares held at a price of $2·80 each. The market price of the equity shares of Barstead immediately before the issue was $3·80. The earnings per share (EPS) reported for the year ended 30 September 2008 was 35 cents.

Barstead’s income tax rate is 25%.

Required:

Calculate the (basic) EPS figure for Barstead (including comparatives) and the diluted EPS (comparatives not required) that would be disclosed for the year ended 30 September 2009. (6 marks)
