(ii) The property of the former administrative centre of Tyre is owned by the company. Tyre had decided in the year

that the property was surplus to requirements and demolished the building on 10 June 2006. After demolition,

the company will have to carry out remedial environmental work, which is a legal requirement resulting from the

demolition. It was intended that the land would be sold after the remedial work had been carried out. However,

land prices are currently increasing in value and, therefore, the company has decided that it will not sell the land

immediately. Tyres uses the ‘cost model’ in IAS16 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and has owned the property

for many years. (7 marks)

2 Clifford and Amanda, currently aged 54 and 45 respectively, were married on 1 February 1998. Clifford is a higher

rate taxpayer who has realised taxable capital gains in 2007/08 in excess of his capital gains tax annual exemption.

Clifford moved into Amanda’s house in London on the day they were married. Clifford’s own house in Oxford, where

he had lived since acquiring it for ￡129,400 on 1 August 1996, has been empty since that date although he and

Amanda have used it when visiting friends. Clifford has been offered ￡284,950 for the Oxford house and has decided

that it is time to sell it. The house has a large garden such that Clifford is also considering an offer for the house and

a part only of the garden. He would then sell the remainder of the garden at a later date as a building plot. His total

sales proceeds will be higher if he sells the property in this way.

Amanda received the following income from quoted investments in 2006/07:
