  又到了12月的考季,學習Taxation的同學們是否開始了緊張的復習階段呢?今天我們就花15分鐘時間一起來看一下12月份考季Taxation這門考試需要注意些什么。
 
  01通過率
  想必大多數同學都比較關心這一門的通過率。按照官網給出的最近5次的通過率,Taxation這一門的通過率一直都是比較穩(wěn)定的,徘徊在50%左右,所以同學們的通過幾率還是比較大的。
  02考試框架
  考試一共分為3個部分。Section A為15道選擇題,共計30分。Section B為3道中型場景題,每道題包含5道選擇題,共計30分。最后為3道大題,共計40分。
  03考試當天注意事項
  帶好打印的準考證,ID,計算器,筆出發(fā)吧!
  04考試小技巧
  Taxation的考試時間為3小時,一共要做100分的題目。這意味著在考試中,卷面分值1分所花費的平均時間為1.8分鐘。也就是說在做section A和section B的選擇題時,每道題目最多花費3.6分鐘去做,千萬不要在一道題目上浪費太多的時間。
  另外,官方建議在考試的時候最好留出1個小時20分鐘的時間去做section C的三道大題,所以同學們一定要在考場上把握好對時間的掌控。在做Section C的大題時,合理使用spreadsheet自帶的計算功能,比如使用求和功能等,這樣在考試中可以節(jié)省大量的時間。
  05考前小熱身
  下面我們一起來看一下在上一次9月份的考試中,錯誤率比較高的2道題吧:
  Question 1
  Elsa is employed by Bee Ltd.During the tax year 2018-19,Bee Ltd provided Elsa with the following benefits:
  (1)A private gym membership(2)A contribution of£1,800 into Elsa's private pension schemeElsa had use of the private gym membership throughout the tax year.The normal membership fee is£1,000,but Bee Ltd negotiated a discount and paid£900 for it.What amount of class 1A national insurance contributions(NICs)are payable by Bee Ltd in respect of Elsa for the tax year 2018-19?
  答案:£124
  解析:Class 1A NIC is only charged on the gym membership and it is calculated based on the cost to the employer(not what the employee would have paid).Therefore,900*13.8%=£124
  Question 2
  In which of the following cases must an appeal be made directly to the Tribunal?
  A.A company appealing against a penalty for late filing of a corporation tax return
  B.A company appealing against a penalty for late filing of employer year end returns
  C.An individual appealing against a penalty for late registration for value added tax(VAT)
  D.An individual appealing against a penalty for late payment of capital gains tax
  答案:C
  解析:Appeals relating to indirect taxes must be made directly to the Tribunal.Many candidates selected A,which is not correct because for direct taxes,appeals must first be made to HMRC.
