Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their ownlanguage.Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a systemof writing.So, in 1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokeecould use to do just that.
Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing adifferent word or idea.He soon realized that writing sentences using pictureswould be much too difficult.There were too many words.No one would ever beable to remember that many pictures.
Sequoyah decided to try a different approach.He began to developsymbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made upwords.Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 differentsymbols.Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language.Thesymbols could easily be put together to form. words.Soon thousands of Cherokeewere able to read and write in their own language.
Sequoyah's work did not end there, however.He helped to establish aprint shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee andEnglish.The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Inlater years, Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee.

Doctor Ben Carson grew up in a poor single parent household in Detroit. His mother, who had only a third-grade education, worked two jobs cleaning bathrooms. To his classmates and even to his teachers, he was thought of as the dumbest kid in the class, according to his own not so fond memories. He had a terrible temper, and once threatened to kill another child. Doctor Carson was headed down a path of self-destruction until a critical moment in his youth. His mother, convinced that she had to do something dramatic to prevent him from leading a life of failure, laid down some rules. He could not watch television except for two programs a week, could not play with his friends after school until he finished his homework, and had to read two books a week and write book reports about them. His mother’s strategy worked. “Of course, I didn’t know she couldn’t read, so there I was submitting these reports.” He said. “She would put check marks on them like she had been reading them. As I began to read about scientists, economists and philosophers, I started imaging myself in their shoes. As he got in the habit of hard work, his grades began to soar. Ultimately, he received a scholarship to attend Yale University. And later, he was admitted to the University of Michigan Medical School. He is now a leading surgeon at John’s Hopkins Medical School, and he’s also the author of three books.

第7题
aged six and eight years. Charles is a teacher but for the last five years he has stayed at home to look after their
children. Jane works as a translator for Speak Write Ltd.
Speak Write Ltd was formed and began trading on 6 April 2006. It provides translation services to universities. Jane,
who ceased employment with Barnham University to found the company, owns 100% of its ordinary share capital
and is its only employee.
Speak Write Ltd has translated documents for four different universities since it began trading. Its biggest client is
Barnham University which represents 70% of the company’s gross income. It is estimated that the company’s gross
fee income for its first 12 months of trading will be £110,000. Speak Write Ltd usually agrees fixed fees in advance
with its clients although it charges for some projects by reference to the number of days taken to do the work. None
of the universities makes any payment to Speak Write Ltd in respect of Jane being on holiday or sick.
All of the universities insist that Jane does the work herself. Jane carries out the work for three of the universities in
her office at home using a computer and specialised software owned by Speak Write Ltd. The work she does for
Barnham University is done in the university’s library on one of its computers as the documents concerned are too
delicate to move.
The first set of accounts for Speak Write Ltd will be drawn up for the year ending 5 April 2007. It is estimated that
the company’s tax adjusted trading profit for this period will be £52,500. This figure is after deducting Jane’s salary
of £4,000 per month and the related national insurance contributions but before any adjustments required by the
application of the personal service companies (IR 35) legislation. The company has no other sources of income or
capital gains.
Jane has not entered into any communication with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) with respect to the company
and wants to know:
– When the corporation tax computation should be submitted and when the tax is due.
– When the corporation tax computation can be regarded as having been agreed by HMRC.
Charles and Jane have requested a meeting to discuss the family’s finances. In particular, they wish to consider the
shortfall in the family’s annual income and any other related issues if Jane were to die. Their mortgage is covered
by a term assurance policy but neither of them have made any pension contributions or carried out any other long
term financial planning.
Jane has estimated that her annual after tax income from Speak Write Ltd, on the assumption that she extracts all of
the company’s profits, will be £58,000. Charles owns two investment properties that together generate after tax
income of £8,500. He estimates that he could earn £28,000 after tax if he were to return to work.
The couple’s annual surplus income, after payment of all household expenditure including mortgage payments of
£900 per month, is £21,000. Charles and Jane have no other sources of income.
Required:
(a) Write a letter to Jane setting out:
(i) the arguments that HMRC could put forward, based only on the facts set out above, in support of
applying the IR 35 legislation to Speak Write Ltd; and
(ii) the additional income tax and national insurance contributions that would be payable, together with
their due date of payment, if HMRC applied the IR 35 legislation to all of the company’s income in
2006/07. (11 marks)
