第1题：

(ii) Briefly outline the tax consequences for Henry if the types of protection identified in (i) were to be

provided for him by Happy Home Ltd compared to providing them for himself. You are not required to

discuss the corporation tax (CT) consequences for Happy Home Ltd. (4 marks)


正确答案：
(ii) Provision of protection: company or individual
If any of the policies are taken out and paid for by Henry personally, then there will be no tax relief on the premiums,
but neither will there normally be any tax payable on the proceeds or benefits received.
If Happy Home Ltd were to pay the premiums on a policy taken out by Henry, and of which he was the direct beneficiary,
then this will constitute a benefit, on the grounds that the company will have satisfied a personal liability of Henry’s.
Accordingly, income tax and Class 1A national insurance contributions will be payable on the benefit.
If, however, Happy Home Ltd were to decide to offer protection benefits to their employees on a group basis (and not
just to Henry), then it would be possible to avoid a charge under the benefits rules and/or obtain a lower rate of premium
under a collective policy. For example:
– A death in service benefit of up to four times remuneration can be provided as part of an approved pension scheme.
No benefit charge arises on Henry and any lump sum will be paid tax free. This could be considered a substitute
for a term assurance policy.
– If a group permanent health insurance policy were taken out, no benefit charge would arise on Henry, but any
benefits payable under the policy would be paid to Happy Home Ltd in the first instance. When subsequently paid
on to Henry, such payments would be treated as arising from his employment and subject to PAYE and national
insurance as for normal salary payments.
– If a group critical illness policy were taken out, again no benefit charge would arise on Henry, but in this case also,
any benefits received by Henry directly from Happy Home Ltd as a result of the payments under the policy would
be considered as derived from his employment and subject to income tax and national insurance. Such a charge
to tax and national insurance would however be avoided if these payments were made in terms of a trust.

正确答案:D

第3题：

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)


正确答案：
(a) (i) Gift of shares
Shares, which are given free or sold at less than market value, are charged to income tax on the difference between the
market value and the amount paid (if any) for the shares. Henry was given 3,000 shares with a market value of ￡1 at
the time of gift, so he was assessed to income tax on ￡3,000, in the tax year 2003/04.

第6题：

(ii) A proposal which will increase the after tax proceeds from the sale of the Snapper plc loan stock and a

reasoned recommendation of a more appropriate form. of external finance. (3 marks)


正确答案：
(ii) Proposal to increase the after tax proceeds from the sale of the loan stock
AS should delay the sale of the loan stock until after 5 April 2008. The gain made at the time of the takeover would
then crystallise in 2008/09 and would be covered by the annual exemption for that year. The net proceeds would be
increased by the capital gains tax saved of ￡3,446 (￡8,616 x 40%).
More appropriate forms of external finance
A bank overdraft is not the most appropriate form. of long term business finance. This is because the bank can demand
repayment of the overdraft at any time and the rates of interest charged are fairly high.
AS should seek long term finance for his long term business needs, for example a bank loan secured on the theatre, and
use the bank overdraft to finance the working capital required on a day-to-day basis.

参考答案：A

第8题：

(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)


正确答案：
(ii) Exercising of share options
The share option is not part of an approved scheme, and will not therefore enjoy the benefits of such a scheme. There
are three events with tax consequences – grant, exercise and sale.
Grant. If shares or options over shares are sold or granted at less than market value, an income tax charge can arise on
the difference between the price paid and the market value. [Weight v Salmon]. In addition, if options can be exercised
more than 10 years after the date of the grant, an employment income charge can arise. This is based on the market
value at the date of grant less the grant and exercise priced.
In Henry’s case, the options were issued with an exercise price equal to the then market value, and cannot be exercised
more than 10 years from the grant. No income tax charge therefore arises on grant.
Exercise. On exercise, the individual pays the agreed amount in return for a number of shares in the company. The price
paid is compared with the open market value at that time, and if less, the difference is charged to income tax. National
insurance also applies, and the company has to pay Class 1 NIC. If the company and shareholder agree, the national
insurance can be passed onto the individual, and the liability becomes a deductible expense in calculating the income
tax charge.
In Henry’s case on exercise, the difference between market value (￡14) and the price paid (￡1) per share will be taxed
as income. Therefore, ￡130,000 (10,000 x (￡14 – ￡1)) will be taxed as income. In addition, national insurance will
be chargeable on the company at 12·8% (￡16,640) and on Henry at the rate of 1% (￡1,300).
Sale. The base cost of the shares is taken to be the market value at the time of exercise. On the sale of the shares, any
gain or loss arising falls under the capital gains tax rules, and CGT will be payable on any gain. Business asset taper
relief will be available as the company is an unquoted trading company, but the relief will only run from the time that
the share options are exercised – i.e. from the time when the shares were acquired.
In Henry’s case, the sale of the shares will immediately follow the exercise of the option (6 days later). The sale proceeds
and the market value at the time of exercise are likely to be similar; thus little to no gain is likely to arise.
