Find the relevant values for the formula

n = 8.

C10 > C8 x 1.2 (£7.2m), so Cr = C8 + “Value increases” + “compensating inflows”

So Cr = £6m + £1m + £3m = £10m.

This result is more than C8 x 1.2m, so we take this as Cr.

Therefore, C9 = Cr + Cr x 3% = £10.3m;

C10 = Cr + Cr x (2x3%) = £10.6m.

Calculate the formula result

T = 34% {{2/3(10m - 8/8x1m)} + {1/3(8/10x10m + 2/10(10.3+10.6/2))]}

T = 34% {[2/3(9m)]+ [1/3(8m+ 2/10 (20.9m/2))]}

T = 34% {6m+[1/3(8m+2.09m)]}

T = 34% {6m+3.363m}

T = 34% 9.363m

T = £3.183m

Is there an increased charge?

Tc = T/Cr

Tc = 3.183m/10m=0.31

Tc

Tc> 0.21 so no minimum charge

Which assets are eligible for clearance?

Maximum value of cleared assets = Cr

The maximum value of assets in the account at any time in the period between 31/12/10 and 31/12/12 inclusive = £12,000,000.

This includes post 31/12/10 inflows of £2,000,000 which do not compensate for earlier withdrawals. These cannot be cleared.

The assets eligible for clearance therefore = £6,000,000 balance at 31/12/10

+ £1,000, 000 interest and gains + £3,000,000 compensating inflows = £10,000,000.

As this value = Cr all of these assets can be cleared.

Assets of £5,000,000 (£3,000,000 withdrawals made pre 31/12/10 and not reintroduced + £2,000,000 post 31/12/10 inflows which do not compensate for earlier withdrawals) remain uncleared and any liability to UK tax will remain due on this amount.
