19 years respectively. Alvaro and Maria have lived in the country of Koruba since 1982. On 1 July 2005 the family
moved to the UK to be near Alvaro’s father, Ray, who was very ill. Alvaro and Maria are UK resident, but not ordinarily
resident in the tax years 2005/06 and 2006/07. They are both domiciled in the country of Koruba.
On 1 February 2007 Ray Pelorus died. He was UK domiciled, having lived in the UK for the whole of his life. For the
purposes of inheritance tax, his death estate consisted of UK assets, valued at £870,000 after deduction of all
available reliefs, and a house in the country of Pacifica valued at £94,000. The executors of Ray’s estate have paid
Pacifican inheritance tax of £1,800 and legal fees of £7,700 in respect of the sale of the Pacifican house. Ray left
the whole of his estate to Alvaro.
Ray had made two gifts during his lifetime:
(i) 1 May 2003: He gave Alvaro 95 acres of farm land situated in the UK. The market value of the land was
£245,000, although its agricultural value was only £120,000. Ray had acquired the land on
1 January 1996 and granted an agricultural tenancy on that date. Alvaro continues to own the
land as at today’s date and it is still subject to the agricultural tenancy.
(ii) 1 August 2005: He gave Alvaro 6,000 shares valued at £183,000 in Pinger Ltd, a UK resident trading
company. Gift relief was claimed in respect of this gift. Ray had acquired 14,000 shares in
Pinger Ltd on 1 April 1997 for £54,600.
You may assume that Alvaro is a higher rate taxpayer for the tax years 2005/06 and 2006/07. In 2006/07 he made
the following disposals of assets:
(i) On 1 July 2006 he sold the 6,000 shares in Pinger Ltd for £228,000.
(ii) On 1 September 2006 he sold 2,350 shares in Lapis Inc, a company resident in Koruba, for £8,270. Alvaro
had purchased 5,500 shares in the company on 1 September 2002 for £25,950.
(iii) On 1 December 2006 he transferred shares with a market value of £74,000 in Quad plc, a UK quoted company,
to a UK resident discretionary trust for the benefit of Vito and Sophie. Alvaro had purchased these shares on
1 January 2006 for £59,500.
Alvaro has not made any other transfers of value for the purposes of UK inheritance tax. He owns the family house
in the UK as well as shares in UK and Koruban companies and commercial rental property in the country of Koruba.
Maria has not made any transfers of value for the purposes of UK inheritance tax. Her only significant asset is the
family home in the country of Koruba.
Alvaro and his family expect to return to their home in the country of Koruba in October 2007 once Ray’s affairs have
been settled. There is no double taxation agreement between the UK and Koruba.
Required:
(a) Calculate the inheritance tax (IHT) payable as a result of the death of Ray Pelorus. Explain the availability
or otherwise of agricultural property relief and business property relief on the two lifetime gifts made by Ray.

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.

loan to Amanda equal to the cost of the shares to be repaid in two years.
– Exclusive free use of the company sailing boat for one week in August 2007. The sailing boat was purchased by

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)
