(c) Audit procedures to determine the validity of the amortisation rate of five years being applied to development costs in relation
to the product Plummet would include the following:

– Obtain marketing/advertising budgets and ascertain enough expenditure is continuing on Plummet to support continued
sales.

正确答案：
(b) Minimising capital gains tax on the sale of the paintings
Galileo will become resident and ordinarily resident from the date he arrives in the UK as he intends to stay for more than
three years. Prior to that date he will be neither resident nor ordinarily resident such that he will not be subject to UK capital
gains tax.
Galileo should sell the paintings before he leaves Astronomeria; this will avoid UK capital gains tax completely.
Tutorial note
The gains would be taxable on the remittance basis if the paintings were sold after Galileo’s arrival in the UK. However, this
would not help Galileo to minimise the capital gains tax due as he needs to bring the sales proceeds into the UK in order
to purchase a house.
