  • Thanks for all the replies! Sounds like a bit of a concensus on flowing straight into the level 6 material. Only reservation I have is whether or not it'll intrude on quite vital time when starting a new role in building up business and networ…
  • Hi Kunal, Do you have any of the more condensed guides from third parties such as Brand or BTS? I didn't use the CII guides for any of my exams after R01, just way too padded out and hard to get the info from.

  • Great post from @Big_Pidgeon and I agree with a lot of this - I, too, often tripped up on the multi-response ones, particularly as you sit there a deblierate whether one of the options out of four or five may be correct. It gets a little heated ther…
  • Well done to all those who passed this last week, great stuff! I am hoping to get my diploma all finished up this side of Christmas, which means I'll be attempting R06 in the October edition. This may mean that I sit this before finishing R05 (tr…
  • Big thanks to all of you who have contributed help to these questions - I passed R03 today!
  • Just going over some last minute questions with the BTS app. Corporation tax payment - 9 months and 1 day after the end of the accounting period... I would have that down as being due on Jan 31, 2019. Nine months being Jan 30, plus …
  • Hi @GallusAlice, I was doing the same as you. I had the Brand stuff and used their mock exams and the calc book. I bought volume 1 of the BTS stuff and have been using it the last few days. It is a little bit different to the brand mocks …
  • @Andy_Schleider @rwooffatst, many thanks for your help! There doesn't seem to be a linear path of progression any more, every one I have spoken to has said the same and it really ultimately comes down to choice of approach. I guess as well som…
  • That makes sense! @richardgough, if I may trouble you once more for another question. Exam in a couple of days and I thought I had these all under control - starting to panic now! Jessica, a higher-rate taxpayer, bought an equity unit trust tw…
  • @richardgough, so it needs adding back. ie £65,000 + £40,000 = £105,000. In this case it still covers the 10% net estate requirement but of course had value before adding back been much higher (or the donation to charity been, say £6,000 in this …
  • @richardgough said: @jadud92 said: Thanks for this Jamie. Not sure if I've been spending too many hours looking at these and just being thick but with her being £10,000 over the £100,000 limit, doesn't that bring her to…
  • Thanks for this Jamie. Not sure if I've been spending too many hours looking at these and just being thick but with her being £10,000 over the £100,000 limit, doesn't that bring her total PA down to £7,500? In which case the first £7,500 i…
  • This income tax one was on the CII website specimen paper, tying myself in knots here. Currently doing it like this hit clearly missing a step somewhere: £100,000 + £10,000 = £110,000 £10,000 over the PA threshold so therefore £5,000…
  • I actually think the answer to 38 is B. The 36% IHT rate applies as the Net estate (after the spousal exemption and the NRB on the brothers half) is £65,000. The donation was £40,000 which is way clear of the net taxable estate. So it's …
