  • 第1题:

    6 Sergio and Gerard each inherited a half interest in a property, ‘Hilltop’, in October 2005. ‘Hilltop’ had a probate value

    of £124,000, but in November 2005 it was badly damaged by fire. In January 2006 the insurance company made

    a payment of £81,700 each to Sergio and Gerard. In February 2006 Sergio and Gerard each spent £55,500 of the

    insurance proceeds on restoring the property. ‘Hilltop’ was worth £269,000 following the restoration work. In July

    2006, Sergio and Gerard sold ‘Hilltop’ for £310,000.

    Sergio is 69 years old and a widower with three adult children and seven grandchildren. His annual income consists

    of a pension of £9,900 and interest of £300 on savings of £7,600 in a bank deposit account. Sergio owns his home

    but no other significant assets. He plans to buy a domestic rental property with the proceeds from the sale of ‘Hilltop’,

    such that on his death he will have a significant asset which can be sold and divided between the members of his

    family.

    Gerard is 34 years old. He is employed by Fizz plc on a salary of £66,500 per year together with a performance

    related bonus. Gerard estimates that he will receive a bonus in December 2007 of £4,500, in line with previous

    years, and that his taxable benefits in the tax year 2007/08 will amount to £7,140. He also expects to receive

    dividends from UK companies of £1,935 and bank interest of £648 in the tax year 2007/08. Gerard intends to set

    up a personal pension plan in August 2007. He has not made any pension contributions in the past and proposes to

    use part of the proceeds from the sale of ‘Hilltop’ to make the maximum possible tax allowable contribution.

    Fizz plc has announced that it intends to replace the performance related bonus scheme with a share incentive plan,

    also linked to performance, with effect from 6 April 2008. Gerard estimates that Fizz plc will award him free shares

    worth £2,100 each year. He will also purchase partnership shares worth £700 each year and, as a result, will be

    awarded matching shares (further free shares) worth £1,400.

    Required:

    (a) Calculate the chargeable gains arising on the receipt of the insurance proceeds in January 2006 and the sale

    of ‘Hilltop’ in July 2006. You should assume that any elections necessary to minimise the gain on the receipt

    of the insurance proceeds have been submitted. (4 marks)

  • 第13题:

    (d) Evaluate the effect on Gerard of the changes to be made by Fizz plc to its performance related bonus scheme.

    You should ignore the effect of any pension contributions to be made by Gerard in the future, consider both

    the value and timing of amounts received by Gerard and include relevant supporting calculations.

    (5 marks)

    Note: – You should assume that the income tax rates and allowances for the tax year 2006/07 apply throughout

    this question.


    正确答案:
    (d) Implications for Gerard of the changes to Fizz plc’s bonus scheme
    Value received
    Under the existing scheme Gerard receives approximately £4,500 each year. This is subject to income tax at 40% and
    national insurance contributions at 1% such that Gerard receives £2,655 (£4,500 x 59%) after all taxes.
    Under the proposed share incentive plan (SIP), Gerard expects to receive free shares worth £3,500 (£2,100 + £1,400).
    Provided the shares remain in the plan for at least five years there will be no income tax or national insurance contributions
    in respect of the value received. Gerard’s base cost in the shares for the purposes of capital gains tax will be their value at
    the time they are withdrawn from the scheme.
    In addition, the amount he spends on partnership shares will be allowable for both income tax and national insurance such
    that he will obtain shares with a value of £700 for a cost of only £413 (£700 x 59%).
    Accordingly, Gerard will receive greater value under the SIP than he does under the existing bonus scheme. However, as noted
    below, he will not be able to sell the free or matching shares until they have been in the scheme for at least three years by
    which time they may have fallen in value.
    Timing of receipt of benefit
    Under the existing scheme Gerard receives a cash bonus each year.
    The value of free and matching shares awarded under a SIP cannot be realised until the shares are withdrawn from the
    scheme and sold. This withdrawal cannot take place until at least three years after the shares are awarded to Gerard.
    Accordingly, Gerard will not have access to the value of the bonuses he receives under the SIP until the scheme has been in
    operation for at least three years. In addition, if the shares are withdrawn within five years of being awarded, income tax and
    national insurance contributions will become payable on the lower of their value at the time of the award and their value at
    the time of withdrawal thus reducing the value of Gerard’s bonus.
