　　Advanced Taxation （UK）

　　（P6）

　　Exams in the financial

　　year 1 April 2015 to 31

　　March 2016

　　This syllabus and study guide is designed to help

　　with planning study and to provide detailed

　　information on what could be assessed in

　　any examination session.

　　THE STRUCTURE OF THE SYLLABUS AND

　　STUDY GUIDE

　　Relational diagram of paper with other papers

　　This diagram shows direct and indirect links

　　between this paper and other papers preceding or

　　following it. Some papers are directly underpinned

　　by other papers such as Advanced Performance

　　Management by Performance Management. These

　　links are shown as solid line arrows. Other papers

　　only have indirect relationships with each other

　　such as links existing between the accounting and

　　auditing papers. The links between these are shown

　　as dotted line arrows. This diagram indicates where

　　you are expected to have underpinning knowledge

　　and where it would be useful to review previous

　　learning before undertaking study.

　　Overall aim of the syllabus

　　This explains briefly the overall objective of the

　　paper and indicates in the broadest sense the

　　capabilities to be developed within the paper.

　　Main capabilities

　　This paper’s aim is broken down into several main

　　capabilities which divide the syllabus and study

　　guide into discrete sections.

　　Relational diagram of the main capabilities

　　This diagram illustrates the flows and links between

　　the main capabilities （sections） of the syllabus and

　　should be used as an aid to planning teaching and

　　learning in a structured way.

　　Syllabus rationale

　　This is a narrative explaining how the syllabus is

　　structured and how the main capabilities are linked.

　　The rationale also explains in further detail what the

　　examination intends to assess and why.

　　Detailed syllabus

　　This shows the breakdown of the main capabilities

　　（sections） of the syllabus into subject areas. This is

　　the blueprint for the detailed study guide.

　　Approach to examining the syllabus

　　This section briefly explains the structure of the

　　examination and how it is assessed.

　　Study Guide

　　This is the main document that students, tuition

　　providers and publishers should use as the basis of

　　their studies, instruction and materials.

　　Examinations will be based on the detail of the

　　study guide which comprehensively identifies what

　　could be assessed in any examination session.

　　The study guide is a precise reflection and

　　breakdown of the syllabus. It is divided into sections

　　based on the main capabilities identified in the

　　syllabus. These sections are divided into subject

　　areas which relate to the sub-capabilities included

　　in the detailed syllabus. Subject areas are broken

　　down into sub-headings which describe the detailed

　　outcomes that could be assessed in examinations.

　　These outcomes are described using verbs

　　indicating what exams may require students to

　　demonstrate, and the broad intellectual level at

　　which these may need to be demonstrated

　　（*see intellectual levels below）。

　　INTELLECTUAL LEVELS

　　The syllabus is designed to progressively broaden

　　and deepen the knowledge, skills and professional

　　values demonstrated by the student on their way

　　through the qualification.

　　The specific capabilities within the detailed

　　syllabuses and study guides are assessed at one of

　　three intellectual or cognitive levels:

　　LevelⅠ: Knowledge and comprehension

　　LevelⅡ: Application and analysis

　　LevelⅢ: Synthesis and *uation

　　Very broadly, these intellectual levels relate to the

　　three cognitive levels at which the Knowledge

　　module, the Skills module and the Professional level

　　are assessed.

　　Each subject area in the detailed study guide

　　included in this document is given a 1, 2, or

　　3 superscript, denoting intellectual level, marked at

　　the end of each relevant line. This gives an

　　indication of the intellectual depth at which an area

　　could be assessed within the examination. However,

　　while level 1 broadly equates with the Knowledge

　　module, level 2 equates to the Skills module and

　　level 3 to the Professional level, some lower level

　　skills can continue to be assessed as the student

　　progresses through each module and level. This

　　reflects that at each stage of study there will be a

　　requirement to broaden, as well as deepen

　　capabilities. It is also possible that occasionally

　　some higher level capabilities may be assessed at

　　lower levels.

　　LEARNING HOURS AND EDUCATION

　　RECOGNITION

　　The ACCA qualification does not prescribe or

　　recommend any particular number of learning hours

　　for examinations because study and learning

　　patterns and styles vary greatly between people and

　　organisations. This also recognises the wide

　　diversity of personal, professional and educational

　　circumstances in which ACCA students find

　　themselves.

　　As a member of the International Federation of

　　Accountants, ACCA seeks to enhance the education

　　recognition of its qualification on both national and

　　international education frameworks, and with

　　educational authorities and partners globally. In

　　doing so, ACCA aims to ensure that its qualifications

　　are recognized and valued by governments,

　　regulatory authorities and employers across all

　　sectors. To this end, ACCA qualifications are

　　currently recognized on the education frameworks in

　　several countries. Please refer to your national

　　education framework regulator for further

　　information.

　　Each syllabus contains between 23 and 35 main

　　subject area headings depending on the nature of

　　the subject and how these areas have been broken

　　down.

　　GUIDE TO EXAM STRUCTURE

　　The structure of examinations varies within and

　　between modules and levels.

　　The Fundamentals level examinations contain

　　100% compulsory questions to encourage

　　candidates to study across the breadth of each

　　syllabus.

　　The Knowledge module is assessed by equivalent

　　two-hour paper based and computer based

　　examinations.

　　The Skills module examinations F5-F9 are all paper

　　based three-hour papers containing a mixture of

　　objective and longer type questions. The Corporate

　　and Business Law （F4） paper is a two-hour

　　computer based objective test examination which is

　　also available as a paper based version from the

　　December 2014 examination session.

　　The Professional level papers are all three-hour

　　paper based examinations, all containing two

　　sections. Section A is compulsory, but there will be

　　some choice offered in Section B.

　　For all three hour examination papers, ACCA has

　　introduced 15 minutes reading and planning time.

　　This additional time is allowed at the beginning of

　　each three-hour examination to allow candidates to

　　read the questions and to begin planning their

　　answers before they start writing in their answer

　　books. This time should be used to ensure that all

　　the information and exam requirements are properly

　　read and understood.

　　During reading and planning time candidates may

　　only annotate their question paper. They may not

　　write anything in their answer booklets until told to

　　do so by the invigilator.

　　The Essentials module papers all have a Section A

　　containing a major case study question with all

　　requirements totalling 50 marks relating to this

　　case. Section B gives students a choice of two from

　　three 25 mark questions.

　　Section A of both the P4 and P5 Options papers

　　contain one 50 mark compulsory question, and

　　Section B will offer a choice of two from three

　　questions each worth 25 marks each.

　　Section A of each of the P6 and P7 Options papers

　　contains 60 compulsory marks from two questions;

　　question 1 attracting 35 marks, and question 2

　　attracting 25 marks. Section B of both these

　　Options papers will offer a choice of two from three

　　questions, with each question attracting 20 marks.

　　All Professional level exams contain four

　　professional marks.

　　The pass mark for all ACCA Qualification

　　examination papers is 50%.

　　RATIONALE

　　The Advanced Taxation syllabus further develops

　　the key aspects of taxation introduced in the

　　compulsory Taxation syllabus within the Skills

　　module and extends the candidates’ knowledge of

　　the tax system, together with their ability to apply

　　that knowledge to the issues commonly encountered

　　by individuals and businesses, such that successful

　　candidates should have the ability to interpret and

　　analyse the information provided and communicate

　　the outcomes in a manner appropriate to the

　　intended audience.

　　The syllabus builds on the basic knowledge of core

　　taxes from the earlier taxation paper and introduces

　　candidates to stamp taxes. As this is an optional

　　paper, aimed at those requiring/desiring more than

　　basic tax knowledge for their future professional

　　lives, the syllabus also extends the knowledge of

　　income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax and

　　inheritance tax to encompass, further overseas

　　aspects of taxation, the taxation of trusts and

　　additional exemptions and reliefs.

　　Computations will normally only be required in

　　support of explanations or advice and not in

　　isolation.

　　Candidates are not expected to concentrate on the

　　computational aspects of taxation. Instead this

　　paper seeks to develop candidates’ skills of analysis,

　　interpretation and communication. Candidates are

　　expected to be able to use established tax planning

　　methods and consider current issues in taxation.
