ACCA P6 June 2009

Hi

I would be grateful if you could advise whether any lecturers are tipping specific areas that are likely to be examined in the upcoming session ACCA P6 Advanced Taxation.

I am wondering if the current climate may influence the examiner to include topics such as liquidations, redundancy payments etc.

Maybe that's just my pessimistic nature though!!

As with all modules I am of course doing my best to achieve a good basic standard across the syllabus, however would still be interested to hear if any specific tips have been given.

Thanks

Definitely topical!! A good idea for revision too. Will definitely spend a bit of trime on it.

Thanks for that.

I was at the revision course last week. The lecturer told us that he met the new examiner a while back and while she didn't give anything away, she said she would be looking at any recent changes that have happened in tax in the last 12 months, eg Vat on Property.
She also said she probably would keep the format of the questions very similar to the previous examiner.

He also said it might be a good idea to mention any new legislation that has come into effect in the last budget, (eg changes in the tax rates if they come up) even though we will be working from Finance Bill 2008

So guys,

how did ye find the exam? (P6)

I personally thought it was rotten and fully expect to be going back in december :mad::mad:

It's just a hazy memory at this stage!! and long may it stay that way until August.

That said, I do remember being reasonably happy with some parts and less so with others.

I don't think I did great on the liquidation question. I will be happy with 50%!
