In March 1999, Bob was made redundant from his job as a furniture salesman. He decided to travel round the world,

and did so, returning to the UK in May 2001. Bob then decided to set up his own business selling furniture. He

started trading on 1 October 2001. After some initial success, the business made losses as Bob tried to win more

customers. However, he was eventually successful, and the business subsequently made profits.

The results for Bob’s business were as follows:

1 October 2001 – 30 April 2002 13,500

1 May 2002 – 30 April 2003 (18,000)

1 May 2003 – 30 April 2004 28,000

B．ob required funds to help start his business, so he raised money in three ways:(1) Bob is a keen cricket fan, and in the 1990s, he collected many books on cricket players. To raise money, Bob

started selling books from his collection. These had risen considerably in value and sold for between ￡150 and

￡300 per book. None of the books forms part of a set. Bob created an internet website to advertise the books.

B．ob has not declared this income, as he believes that the proceeds from selling the books are non-taxable.(2) He disposed of two paintings and an antique silver coffee set at auction on 1 December 2004, realising

chargeable gains totalling ￡23,720.(3) Bob took a part time job in a furniture store on 1 January 2003. His annual salary has remained at ￡12,600

per year since he started this employment.

B．ob has 5,000 shares in Willis Ltd, an unquoted trading company based in the UK. He subscribed for these shares

in August 2000, paying ￡3 per share. On 1 December 2004, Bob received a letter informing him that the company

had gone into receivership. As a result, his shares were almost worthless. The receivers dealing with the company

estimated that on the liquidation of the company, he would receive no more than 10p per share for his shareholding.

H．e has not yet received any money.

Required:(a) Write a letter to Bob advising him on whether or not he is correct in believing that his book sales are nontaxable.
