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.
