Question 4b
(b) Meung Nong commenced in self-employment on 1 May 2010. She initially prepared accounts to 30 April, but will change her accounting date to 30 June by preparing accounts for the 14-month period to 30 June 2013. Meung’s trading profits (after taking account of capital allowances) for the first two years of trading were as follows:
| £ | |
|---|---|
| Year ended 30 April 2011 | 50,400 |
| Year ended 30 April 2012 | 37,200 |
Meung’s trading profit for the 14-month period ended 30 June 2013 will be £61,500. This figure is before taking account of capital allowances. The tax written down value of her capital allowances main pool at 1 May 2012 was £10,400, and there will be no additions or disposals during the 14-month period ended 30 June 2013.
Meung’s business will continue for the foreseeable future.
