(c) (i) Compute Gloria’s capital gains tax liability for 2006/07 ignoring any claims or elections available to

reduce the liability. (3 marks)

正确答案：

 

3 The Stiletto Partnership consisted of three partners, Clint, Ben and Amy, who shared the profits of the business

equally. On 28 February 2007 the partners sold the business to Razor Ltd, in exchange for shares in Razor Ltd, with

each former partner owning one third of the new company.

The recent, tax adjusted, trading profits of the Stiletto Partnership have been as follows:

￡

Year ended 30 June 2006 92,124

1 July 2006 to 28 February 2007 81,795

Clint, who was 65 on 5 October 2006, retired when the business was sold to Razor Ltd. He is now suggesting that

if the sale of the partnership, and his retirement, had been delayed until 30 April 2007, his total tax liability would

have been reduced. Clint’s only other income is gross pension income of ￡6,100 per year, which he began receiving

in the tax year 2005/06. Clint did not receive any salary or dividends from Razor Ltd. It is estimated that the

partnership’s tax adjusted trading profits for the period from 1 March 2007 to 30 April 2007 would have been

￡20,760. Clint has overlap profits of ￡14,250 brought forward from when the partnership began trading.

Razor Ltd manufactures industrial cutting tools. On 1 July 2007, Razor Ltd will subscribe for the whole of the ordinary

share capital of Cutlass Inc, a company newly incorporated in the country of Sharpenia. It is intended that Cutlass

Inc will purchase partly finished tools from Razor Ltd and customise them in Sharpenia. It is anticipated that Cutlass

Inc’s annual profits chargeable to corporation tax will be approximately ￡120,000.

Ben and Amy will be the directors of Cutlass Inc, although Ben will not be involved in the company’s business on a

day-to-day basis. Amy intends to spend one or two weeks each month in the country of Sharpenia looking after the

company’s affairs. The remainder of her time will be spent in the UK. Amy has employment contracts with both Razor

Ltd and Cutlass Inc and her duties for Cutlass Inc will be carried out wholly in Sharpenia. Cutlass Inc will pay for

Amy’s flights to and from Sharpenia and for her husband and baby to visit her there twice a year. Amy is currently

UK resident and ordinarily resident.

The system of income tax and corporation tax in the country of Sharpenia is broadly similar to that in the UK although

the rate of corporation tax is 38% regardless of the level of profits. There is a double tax treaty between the UK and

Sharpenia based on the OECD model treaty. The clause in the treaty dealing with company residency states that a

company resident in both countries under domestic law will be regarded under the treaty as being resident only in the

country where it is effectively managed and controlled. Sharpenia is not a member of the European Union.

Required:

(a) (i) Calculate Clint’s taxable trading profits for the tax years 2006/07 and 2007/08 for both of the

alternative retirement dates (28 February 2007 and 30 April 2007). (3 marks)

(b) Explain in the context of Flavours Fine Foods, what is meant by:

(i) responsibility; (4 marks)

正确答案：
(b) (i) RESPONSIBILITY is the liability of a person to be called to account for their actions and results, and is therefore an obligation to take some action to discharge that responsibility. Unlike authority, responsibility cannot be delegated. There is however some discussion on the extent to which this statement is true: the idea that responsibility cannot be delegated is too simplistic. Any task contains an element of responsibility. It is the idea of accountability and the direction of responsibility that is the relevant concept and is the problem at Flavours Fine Foods; ultimate responsibility resides with the owners. It is self evident that it is impossible to exercise authority without responsibility because this could lead to problems of control and therefore undesirable outcomes for the organisation. However, the superior (the owner) is always ultimately responsible for the actions of his or her subordinates. The key element here is the recognition of discretion by virtue of the person’s position. This underlines the doctrine of absolute responsibility; the superior is always ultimately accountable.
