3 Assume that today’s date is 10 May 2005.You have recently been approached by Fred Flop. Fred is the managing director and 100% shareholder of FlopLimited, a UK trading company with one wholly owned subsidiary. Both companies have a 31 March year-end.Fred informs you that he is experiencing problems in dealing with aspects of his company tax returns. The companyaccountant has been unable to keep up to date with matters, and Fred also believes that mistakes have been madein the past. Fred needs assistance and tells you the following:Year ended 31 March 2003The corporation tax return for this period was not submitted until 2 November 2004, and corporation tax of ￡123,500was paid at the same time. Profits chargeable to corporation tax were stated as ￡704,300.A formal notice (CT203) requiring the company to file a self-assessment corporation tax return (dated 1 February2004) had been received by the company on 4 February 2004.A detailed examination of the accounts and tax computation has revealed the following.– Computer equipment totalling ￡50,000 had been expensed in the accounts. No adjustment has been made inthe tax computation.– A provision of ￡10,000 was made for repairs, but there is no evidence of supporting information.– Legal and professional fees totalling ￡46,500 were allowed in full without any explanation. Fred hassubsequently produced the following analysis:Analysis of legal professional fees￡Legal fees on a failed attempt to secure a trading loan 15,000Debt collection agency fees 12,800Obtaining planning consent for building extension 15,700Accountant’s fees for preparing accounts 14,000Legal fees relating to a trade dispute 19,000– No enquiry has yet been raised by the Inland Revenue.– Flop Ltd was a large company in terms of the Companies Act definition for the year in question.– Flop Ltd had taxable profits of ￡595,000 in the previous year.Year ended 31 March 2004The corporation tax return has not yet been submitted for this year. The accounts are late and nearing completion,with only one change still to be made. A notice requiring the company to file a self-assessment corporation tax return(CT203) dated 27 July 2004 was received on 1 August 2004. No corporation tax has yet been paid.1 – The computation currently shows profits chargeable to corporation tax of ￡815,000 before accountingadjustments, and any adjustments for prior years.– A company owing Flop Ltd ￡50,000 (excluding VAT) has gone into liquidation, and it is unlikely that any of thismoney will be paid. The money has been outstanding since 3 September 2003, and the bad debt will need tobe included in the accounts.1 Fred also believes there are problems in relation to the company’s VAT administration. The VAT return for the quarterended 31 March 2005 was submitted on 5 May 2005, and VAT of ￡24,000 was paid at the same time. The previousreturn to 31 December 2004 was also submitted late. In addition, no account has been made for the VAT on the baddebt. The VAT return for 30 June 2005 may also be late. Fred estimates the VAT liability for that quarter to be ￡8,250.Required:(a) (i) Calculate the revised corporation tax (CT) payable for the accounting periods ending 31 March 2003and 2004 respectively. Your answer should include an explanation of the adjustments made as a resultof the information which has now come to light.
