As part of my Tax Tuesday series, here's an ACCA Tax tip for all those pursuing the June 2024 ACCA TX exam.
A core examinable area is income tax, within income tax there are 4 key workings that all learners must grasp to score heavily in the exam, particularly in section C:
1. Taxable benefits in kind (BIK): specifically, car and fuel BIK, accommodation BIK, loan BIK, private use of an asset, and gift of an asset, each has special rules and awareness is essential.
2. Adjutment of profit including capital allowances: in over 25 years of teaching this paper I cannot remember a single occasion where candidates haven't had to tackle this crucial working in their exams. Learn the adjustment of accounting profit computation - there are 5 key steps: essential knowledge!
3. Property income: Perhaps not as popular as the above two but it is fairly regular and learners must follow the three key steps to calculate rental income correctly - learn it!
4. Income tax computation: once you have calculated the above, it is vital that you can construct this computation to identify the taxable income, the income tax liability, and the income tax payable.
I've been teaching ACCA TX for over 25 years and have successfully taught over 2500 students in the UK and the UAE on how to pass this exam!

ACCA March 2024 exam tips at your fingertips
Now is not the time to panic! Check out all our March ACCA exam tips in the latest PQ magazine, out now.
Here are some highlights of just some of the tips we are providing:
PM
If you are sitting ACCA PM exams this time around never be tempted to spend longer than 5 minutes on any section A question, according to BPP’s top team of tutors. Good time management is key here – you don’t want to get caught up in a tough calculation. Remember, they are only ever worth 2 marks!
It doesn’t pay either to neglect the written elements in section C as they are normally worth 60% of the marks. And, make sure you always fully explain your ideas.
FR
As ACCA clarified that a consolidated financial statements preparation question could include two subsidies and one associate you must be prepared for such a question, say the experts. This gives the examiner scope to examine the disposal of a subsidiary, including a discontinued operation.
As the ACCA has also clarified the syllabus wording emphasising the importance of cash flows in interpreting financial statements you have to be prepared for a question on this too!
Don’t be knocked off course too this March by a question or two in section A on no-core areas such as sustainability!
AA
Those sitting AA this Spring should know tutors expect questions in section A to focus on syllabus areas A and E. The majority of marks in section B in each question will test syllabus areas B, C and/or D.
The AA exam often provides a table for you to complete your answer. For example, audit risk questions will have a table with two columns, one for 'Audit risk' and one for 'Auditor's response' with each properly explained point being worth one mark. Using this tabular approach should help you to answer both parts of the question, therefore maximising your marks! Well, that is the theory anyway.
FM
The commonly examined areas of FM’s section B are working capital management, business or security valuations, and financial risk management, say our tipsters.
Meanwhile the two questions in section C will focus mainly on syllabus sections C, D and E. Remember that whichever of these topics does not appear in section C is most likely to appear in section B.
Finally, questions in section A will often test your understanding of financial management and objectives as well as the economic environment and financial institutions topics.
