Compliance Caseworker

In tray exercise – July 2023

OFFICIAL
Activity Guidance
During your assessment we will give you an email from a customer that you will need to reply to. The
customer thinks they may have made an error and will give you information about their tax payments.

You don’t need experience working with tax to be able to complete the task.

This booklet has all the information you need to successfully complete the task and you can read
through this prior to your assessment session. You will also need a copy of this on the day of your
assessment.

You will be able to use a calculator.

Activity Information & Guidance

Information to be provided on all emails


When responding to customers HMRC needs to give the right information. When giving customers
any tax calculations, all emails must include the following sentence:

“All tax calculations provided by HMRC may be subject to a final review, if there are any changes to
be made, HMRC will contact you within 60 days”

Income and Expenses


Income Tax is paid on profits and is paid for by the person getting the income. For example, an
electrician who has income from charging customers for their services.

On a Bank Statement:

Income is the “Paid In” amount

Expenses is the “Paid Out” amount

It is charged on the profits of a trade and under Section 7 ITTOIA 2005 and is ‘the full amount of the
profits of the tax year’. Profit is the payments received minus the expenses of the business.

For example, an electrician who needs to buy tools and materials to complete the job for which
he has been employed and will invoice the customer for.

OFFICIAL
To do this, we must:

1. Identify the total money that a company makes


2. Minus the expenses

Business expenses vs Personal expenses


No deductions are allowed for expenses that is not for a business reason. For example, an electrician
who purchases a family holiday through his business.

For an expense to satisfy our test, the business purpose must be the only purpose. If the business
element cannot be separated from the non-business element, the expense cannot be deducted from
trading profits in full.
