(b) The directors of Carver Ltd are aware that some of the company’s shareholders want to realise the value in their

shares immediately. Accordingly, instead of investing in the office building or the share portfolio they are

considering two alternative strategies whereby, following the sale of the company’s business, a payment will be

made to the company’s shareholders.

(i) Liquidate the company. The payment by the liquidator would be ￡126 per share.

(ii) The payment of a dividend of ￡125 per share following which a liquidator will be appointed. The payment

by the liquidator to the shareholders would then be ￡1 per share.

The company originally issued 20,000 ￡1 ordinary shares at par value to 19 members of the Cutler family.

Following a number of gifts and inheritances there are now 41 shareholders, all of whom are family members.

The directors have asked you to attend a meeting to set out the tax implications of these two alternative strategies

for each of the two main groups of shareholders: adults with shareholdings of more than 500 shares and children

with shareholdings of 200 shares or less.

Required:

Prepare notes explaining:

– the amount chargeable to tax; and

– the rates of tax that will apply

in respect of each of the two strategies for each of the two groups of shareholders ready for your meeting

with the directors of Carver Ltd. You should assume that none of the shareholders will have any capital

losses either in the tax year 2007/08 or brought forward as at 5 April 2007. (10 marks)

Note:

You should assume that the rates and allowances for the tax year 2006/07 will continue to apply for the

foreseeable future.

People usually think that boys are stronger，heavier and taller than girls． Maybe it's true．Some people even think that boys are smarter than girls．

Expert's view:l can' t agree with them． If you say that girls learn faster than boys，you may be right，at least when it comes to young chimps(猩猩) using tools．

People found that girl chimps in Tanzania，East Africa，use sticks to find tasty insects(昆虫) two years earlier than boy chimps． This is because young girl chimps watch their moms col-lect bugs，while the boy chimps climb trees．

But young boy chimps may hunt and throw(扔) sooner than girl clumps．It's also true for humans．It-s easier for girls to learn to write and draw earlier，but boys often run and throw balls earlier than girls．

Teacher's view:l think boys and girls both have their special advantages． Boys are good at sports． They are very athletic． But girls do well in performance． They are very calm．
