Q

Part Disposal formula

A

A
—. X Original cost ……to work out buying cost
A+B

A - proceeds of part disposed, B - market value of part kept

Proceed £20k - original cost £5k. Remaining value of land £50k
Buying cost of part disposed;
£20K / £20K + £50K X £5K = £1,428.57
Gain relating to part disposed 
£20,000 - £1,428.57 = £18,571.43

Remaining buying cost £5,000- £1,428.57 = £3,571.43

Q

Interest in Possession Trust

  • How much income tax paid by Trustee
  • Beneficiary
  • Settlor
  • How are expenses dealt with
A
  • Trustee pays income tax at BR only(20%/7.5%) - No PA, PSA, DA
    Can deduct expenses
  • Settlor no liability unless parental settlement or Settlor interested
  • Beneficiary. Non tax - Can reclaim taken ; BR - liability met;HR - 20% ;AR - 25%. Allowances can be used

Further tax due by beneficiary based on Gross trust income after expenses.
Example: £12,500 gross income (£10,000 net) - then deduct expenses (£300) = £9700
You gross up this figure to get £12,125. So HR pays 20% on that, AR 25% (allowance can be used)

Q

Interest in possession - IHT charges
What are 3 possible charges and how much (calculations)

£400,000 into IIP Trust (no available exemptions)
What are charges (assume grows to £500,000 after 10 years)

£100,000 paid out after 12 years

A
  1. Immediate charge £400,000 - £325,000 = £75,000 @ 20% = £15,000
  2. Periodic charge on 10 year anniversary (assume £500k value) =
    £500,000 - £325,000 = £175,000 @ (30% of lifetime rate of 20% ie 6%) = £10,500
    Giving effective rate of 10,500/500,000 = 2.1%
  3. Exit charge No. quarters/ 40 x amount withdrawn x effective rate from previous 10 year ann
    8/40 x £100,000 x 2.1% = £420

Q

Child Benefit Tax Charge

A

£50,000 < 1% per £100 over i.e £1k would be 10%, 10k(£60k total) would be 100%
So ..£53,000 income would mean if Child Benefit was £1,788.50 annually , then tax charge would be 30% ( £3k over) of £1,788.50 = £536,64 (round down)

Q

Top Slicing

What is 5 step approach

A

Work out full years tax liability including all of gain
Step 1. Calculate chargeable gain tax across bands (remember to reduce PA if applicable)
2. Work out tax due on bond gain across all tax bands.deduct 20% of gain already paid
3. Calculate annual equivalent (gain divided by n)
4. Calculate tax due on annual equivalent, deduct basic rate tax (on slice)and then multiply back up by n (remember to reinstate PA)
5. Find top slicing relief due by deducting Step 4 from Step 2

You then take this from the original total tax due (1) and then deduct the 20% tax relief of total gain to give total tax due

Q

Top Slicing 5 step approach

A
    1. Work out total tax due, seeing how much tax is paid on gain over the different bands (don’t forget to inc PSA and starting rate)
    1. Calculate liability for year by taking figure from step one and taking off 20 % of total gain.
      Tax on bond gain across bands minus tax on total gain @ 20%
    1. Work out annual equivalent -Take total gain and divide by no. Whole years
  • 4 Find total relieved liability-Take annual equivalent figure from step 3 and add to total income. work out tax on the slice
    1. Calculate top slice due = difference between total liability and total relieved liability (step 2 - Step 4)
      Step one

Anne’s taxable income (including the chargeable event gain) is £59,900. The gain falls within the different tax bands as follows:

PSA - £500 @ 0%

Basic Rate Band - £1,100 @ 20%

Higher Rate Band - £22,400 @ 40%

Step two

The total tax due on the bond gain across all tax bands is £9,180

The tax treated as paid on the gain is £24,000 @ 20% = £4,800

The individual’s liability for the tax year is therefore £9,180 - £4,800 = £4,380

Step three

The ‘annual equivalent’ of the gain £24,000 / 8 = £3,000.

Step four

The ‘annual equivalent’ + taxable income = £3,000 + £35,900 = £38,900.

The total tax on the slice is (£500 @ 0%) + (£1,100 @ 20%) + (£1,400 @ 40%) = £780

The tax treated as paid on the slice is £3,000 @ 20% = £600

The individual’s tax relieved liability is (£780 - £600) multiplied by “N”. In this “N” case is 8 years so the tax relieved liability is £1,440

Step five

Top slicing relief = £4,380 – £1,440 = £2,940

Summary

Anne’s liability after top-slicing relief is £16,360 - £2,940 = £13,420

The basic rate credit is £24,000 @ 20% = £4,800.

The overall liability is reduced to £13,420 - £4,800 = £8,620

Exit charge = amount of distribution multiply x/40 (where x is no. Of quarters ) x effective rate at last 10 year

Q

Trustee expenses for Discretionary Trust

A

Gross up expenses and take from Savings/dividend income, then apply tax using standard rate @ 20%, expenses at 20%/7.5%, then 45% on excess
Example:
£12,500 savings income, £300 expenses
12,500 - (300/0.8 = £375) = £12,125

£1,000 @ 20%
£375 @ 20%
£11,125 @ 45%

Beneficiary taxed on £12,125 gross income rather than 12,500
