4 Susan Grant is in something of a dilemma. She has been invited to join the board of the troubled Marlow Fashion
Group as a non-executive director, but is uncertain as to the level and nature of her contribution to the strategic
thinking of the Group.
The Marlow Fashion Group had been set up by a husband and wife team in the 1970s in an economically depressed
part of the UK. They produced a comprehensive range of women’s clothing built round the theme of traditional English
style. and elegance. The Group had the necessary skills to design, manufacture and retail its product range. The
Marlow brand was quickly established and the company built up a loyal network of suppliers, workers in the company
factory and franchised retailers spread around the world. Marlow Fashion Group’s products were able to command
premium prices in the world of fashion. Rodney and Betty Marlow ensured that their commitment to traditional values
created a strong family atmosphere in its network of partners and were reluctant to change this.
Unfortunately, changes in the market for women’s wear presented a major threat to Marlow Fashion. Firstly, women
had become a much more active part of the workforce and demanded smarter, more functional outfits to wear at work.
Marlow Fashion’s emphasis on soft, feminine styles became increasingly dated. Secondly, the tight control exercised
by Betty and Rodney Marlow and their commitment to control of design, manufacturing and retailing left them
vulnerable to competitors who focused on just one of these core activities. Thirdly, there was a reluctance by the
Marlows and their management team to acknowledge that a significant fall in sales and profits were as a result of a
fundamental shift in demand for women’s clothing. Finally, the share price of the company fell dramatically. Betty and
Rodney Marlow retained a significant minority ownership stake, but the company had had a new Chief Executive
Officer every year since 2000.
Required:
(a) Write a short report to Susan Grant identifying and explaining the strategic strengths and weaknesses in the
Marlow Fashion Group. (12 marks)
(a) To: Susan Grant
From:
Strategic strengths and weaknesses in Marlow Fashion Group
In carrying out a strategic strengths and weaknesses analysis one becomes aware that what were formerly strengths often
become weaknesses as the competitive environment changes over time. Strengths and weaknesses analysis is focused on
the internal side of the business and is usually linked to an external appraisal of the external opportunities and threats facing
the company. Marlow Fashion Group is clearly at a crisis point in its company life and needs a strategic turnaround in order
to survive. The business model that has served them so well is no longer appropriate to the fashion world in which they are
now competing. Rodney and Betty Marlow have built a highly vertically integrated model, which gave them considerable
control over the growth and development of the company. In terms of the value chain the relationship they built up with
suppliers was mutually supportive and clearly facilitated the global expansion of the group. Control was even tighter over the
design, manufacturing and retailing of the company’s products. Marlow Fashions had successfully developed a niche market
for its products based around traditional English values. This enabled it to expand successfully and develop a worldwide
reputation for design excellence and quality.
Unfortunately, its competitive environment has changed considerably, becoming increasingly competitive and hostile. The
economics of clothing manufacturing has changed, with most clothing retailers choosing to outsource the manufacture of their
clothes. Women’s tastes in clothing have also changed and there is no longer the market for the clothes Marlow Fashion sells.
The tight control exercised by the founders has prevented recognition of these changes. Marlow Fashion has continued to
pursue outdated designs and expensive manufacturing processes that had served it well in the past. There has been some
recognition of the strategic nature of the problems as indicated by the succession of CEOs since 2000 given the task of
preventing the fall in sales and cutting costs. Unfortunately, the changes in its environment have led to some uncertainty as
to whether Marlow Fashion is a brand, a manufacturer, a retailer or an integrated fashion company.
Overall, Marlow Fashion, from being in a strategically sound position, now requires a swift strategic turnaround. Its products
and markets have changed; the relationships it has with key stakeholders are no longer strengths and its value chain andsystem no longer deliver distinctive value to its customers.

4 Assume today’s date is 15 May 2005.
In March 1999, Bob was made redundant from his job as a furniture salesman. He decided to travel round the world,
and did so, returning to the UK in May 2001. Bob then decided to set up his own business selling furniture. He
started trading on 1 October 2001. After some initial success, the business made losses as Bob tried to win more
customers. However, he was eventually successful, and the business subsequently made profits.
The results for Bob’s business were as follows:
Period Schedule D Case I
Trading Profits/(losses)
£
1 October 2001 – 30 April 2002 13,500
1 May 2002 – 30 April 2003 (18,000)
1 May 2003 – 30 April 2004 28,000
Bob required funds to help start his business, so he raised money in three ways:
(1) Bob is a keen cricket fan, and in the 1990s, he collected many books on cricket players. To raise money, Bob
started selling books from his collection. These had risen considerably in value and sold for between £150 and
£300 per book. None of the books forms part of a set. Bob created an internet website to advertise the books.
Bob has not declared this income, as he believes that the proceeds from selling the books are non-taxable.
(2) He disposed of two paintings and an antique silver coffee set at auction on 1 December 2004, realising
chargeable gains totalling £23,720.
(3) Bob took a part time job in a furniture store on 1 January 2003. His annual salary has remained at £12,600
per year since he started this employment.
Bob has 5,000 shares in Willis Ltd, an unquoted trading company based in the UK. He subscribed for these shares
in August 2000, paying £3 per share. On 1 December 2004, Bob received a letter informing him that the company
had gone into receivership. As a result, his shares were almost worthless. The receivers dealing with the company
estimated that on the liquidation of the company, he would receive no more than 10p per share for his shareholding.
He has not yet received any money.
Required:
(a) Write a letter to Bob advising him on whether or not he is correct in believing that his book sales are nontaxable.
Your advice should include reference to the badges of trade and their application to this case.
(9 marks)
(a) Evidence of trading
[Client address]
[Own address]
[Date]
Dear Bob,
I note that you have been selling some books in order to raise some extra income. While you believe that the sums are not
taxable, I believe that there may be a risk of the book sales being treated as a trade, and therefore taxable under Schedule D
Case I. We need to refer to guidance in the form. of a set of principles known as the ‘badges of trade’. These help determine
whether or not a trade exists, and need to be looked at in their entirety. The badges are as follows.
1. The subject matter
Some assets can be enjoyed by themselves as an investment, while others (such as large amounts of aircraft linen) are
clearly not. It is likely that such assets are acquired as trading stock, and are therefore a sign of trading. Sporting books
can be an investment, and so this test is not conclusive.
2. Frequency of transactions
Where transactions are frequent (not one-offs), this suggests trading. You have sold several books, which might suggest
trading, although you have only done this for a short period - between one and two years.
3. Length of ownership
Where items are bought and sold soon afterwards, this indicates trading. You bought your books in the 1990s, and the
length of time between acquisition and sale would not suggest trading.
4. Supplementary work and marketing
You are actively marketing the books on your internet website, which is an indication of trading.
5. Profit motive
A motive to make profit suggests trading activity. You sold the books to raise funds for your property business, and not
to make a profit as such, which suggests that your motive was to raise cash, and not make profits.
6. The way in which the asset sold was acquired.
Selling assets which were acquired unintentionally (such as a gift) is not usually seen as trading. You acquired the books
for your collection over a period of time, and while these were intentional acquisitions, the reasons for doing so were for
your personal pleasure.
By applying all of these tests, it should be possible to argue that you were not trading, merely selling some assets in
order to generate short-term cash for your business.
The asset disposals will be taxed under the capital gain tax rules, but as the books are chattels and do not form. part of
a set, they will be exempt from capital gains tax.
Yours sincerely
A N. Accountant
(b) Explanations of the various matters. (11 marks)
(b) Related matters
(i) National insurance contributions in 2007/08
The profit for the period ending 31 March 2008 is expected to be £1,200 (£400 x 3).
No class 2 contributions will be due as the profit is less than the small earnings exception limit of £4,465.
No class 4 contributions will be due as the profit is less than the lower profits limit of £5,035.
Tutorial note
Adam will have paid class 1 contributions in respect of his earnings from Rheims Ltd, thus preserving his entitlement
to state benefits and pension, and therefore there is no disadvantage in claiming the small earnings exemption from
class 2 contributions.
(ii) Purchase and renovation of the theatre
The theatre is a capital purchase that does not qualify for capital allowances as it is a building but not an industrial
building. Accordingly, the cost of purchasing the theatre will not give rise to a tax deduction for the purpose of computing
AS’s taxable trading income.
The tax treatment of the renovation costs may be summarised as follows:
– The costs will be disallowed if the renovations are necessary before the theatre can be used for business purposes.
This is because they will be regarded as further capital costs of acquiring appropriate premises.
– Some of the costs may be allowable if the condition of the theatre is such that it can be used in its present state
and the renovations are more in the nature of cosmetic improvements.
(iii) VAT position
The grant of a right to occupy the theatre in exchange for rent is an exempt supply. Accordingly, as all of AS’s activities
will be regarded as one for VAT purposes, AS will become partially exempt once he begins to rent out the theatre.
AS will be able to recover the input tax that is directly attributable to his standard rated supplies, i.e. those in connection
with the supply of children’s parties. He will also be able to recover a proportion of the input tax on his overheads; the
proportion being that of his total supplies that are standard rated.
The remainder of his input tax will only be recoverable if it is no more than £625 per month on average and no more
than 50% of his total input tax.
If AS were to opt to tax the theatre, the right to occupy the theatre in exchange for rent would then be a standard rated
supply. AS could then recover all of his input tax, regardless of the amount attributable to the rent, but would have to
charge VAT on the rent and on any future sale of the building.
The decision as to whether or not to opt to tax the theatre will depend on:
– the amount of input tax at stake; and
– whether or not those who rent the theatre are in a position to recover any VAT charged.
A corporate taxpayer has under-reported its taxable revenue in 2002 and hence underpaid value added tax (VAT) and enterprise income tax (EIT). In 2014, the taxpayer was charged by the tax authority with committing an act of tax evasion in 2002.
Which of the following statements is correct?
A.The taxpayer must pay the additional taxes due, plus a late payment surcharge and a penalty
B.There is no need for the taxpayer to pay any additional taxes, late payment surcharge or penalty as the statute of limitation is ten years
C.The taxpayer must pay the additional taxes, but no late payment surcharge or penalty as the statute of limitation is ten years for late payment surcharge and penalties
D.The taxpayer must pay the additional taxes and a late payment surcharge but not a penalty as the statute of limitation is five years for penalties
Per Article 86 of the Tax Collection and Administrative Law, the statute of limitation for an administrative penalty on non-compliances is five years.
