(i) National insurance contributions in 2007/08
The profit for the period ending 31 March 2008 is expected to be ￡1,200 (￡400 x 3).
No class 2 contributions will be due as the profit is less than the small earnings exception limit of ￡4,465.
No class 4 contributions will be due as the profit is less than the lower profits limit of ￡5,035.
Tutorial note
Adam will have paid class 1 contributions in respect of his earnings from Rheims Ltd, thus preserving his entitlement
to state benefits and pension, and therefore there is no disadvantage in claiming the small earnings exemption from
class 2 contributions.
(ii) Purchase and renovation of the theatre
The theatre is a capital purchase that does not qualify for capital allowances as it is a building but not an industrial
building. Accordingly, the cost of purchasing the theatre will not give rise to a tax deduction for the purpose of computing
AS’s taxable trading income.
The tax treatment of the renovation costs may be summarised as follows:
– The costs will be disallowed if the renovations are necessary before the theatre can be used for business purposes.
This is because they will be regarded as further capital costs of acquiring appropriate premises.
– Some of the costs may be allowable if the condition of the theatre is such that it can be used in its present state
and the renovations are more in the nature of cosmetic improvements.
(iii) VAT position
The grant of a right to occupy the theatre in exchange for rent is an exempt supply. Accordingly, as all of AS’s activities
will be regarded as one for VAT purposes, AS will become partially exempt once he begins to rent out the theatre.
AS will be able to recover the input tax that is directly attributable to his standard rated supplies, i.e. those in connection
with the supply of children’s parties. He will also be able to recover a proportion of the input tax on his overheads; the
proportion being that of his total supplies that are standard rated.
The remainder of his input tax will only be recoverable if it is no more than ￡625 per month on average and no more
than 50% of his total input tax.
If AS were to opt to tax the theatre, the right to occupy the theatre in exchange for rent would then be a standard rated
supply. AS could then recover all of his input tax, regardless of the amount attributable to the rent, but would have to
charge VAT on the rent and on any future sale of the building.
The decision as to whether or not to opt to tax the theatre will depend on:
– the amount of input tax at stake; and
– whether or not those who rent the theatre are in a position to recover any VAT charged.

正确答案：
Part (b):
Oliver may feel he has a grievance as a consequence of treatment which he perceives as unfair. Proper disciplinary procedures are
essential for harmonious relationships between management and all staff. Oliver may feel that he has been singled out and that
David Morgan does not understand the need for equity in invoking disciplinary procedures.
David Morgan did not follow this procedure. No informal talk took place which might have resolved the problem, preferring to
deliver an oral warning, then moving to a written warning and dismissal. Oliver was not represented and his dismissal is likely to
lead to dissatisfaction with Oliver’s peers.
Oliver must now invoke the correct grievance procedure.
