### Required:
Calculate Greenzone Ltd’s tax-adjusted trading profit for the year ended 31 March 2013.

Answer :

To calculate Greenzone Ltd's tax adjusted trading profit for the year ended 31 March 2013, we need to make adjustments to the profit figures provided based on the additional information given.

First, we will adjust the repairs and renewals expenses. The cost of repainting the office building (£8,390) and extending the building for the new reception area (£19,800) should be added to the property's cost and capitalized rather than expensed.

Next, we need to adjust the other expenses. The amounts spent on entertaining UK customers (£3,600), entertaining overseas customers (£1,840), and political donations (£740) are not allowable deductions for tax purposes. The donation to the charity (£430) is also not a qualifying charitable donation and should be excluded. However, the cost of gifts to customers (£660 for pens and £910 for clocks) can be included as allowable deductions.

For legal and accountancy charges, the debt collection service (£2,396) and audit and accountancy fees (£1,288) are allowable deductions. However, the cost of the 45-year lease on new premises (£820) should be capitalized and treated as a capital expenditure.

The travel expenses for the director's personal trip to the USA (£3,000) should be excluded as it is a personal expense and not related to business activities.

Regarding the plant and machinery, we need to account for the disposals and acquisitions. The motor car sold for £18,100 has a written down value of £17,200, resulting in a balancing charge of £900. The special rate pool items sold for £9,300 will reduce the pool's value. The new motor car purchased for £13,700 with a CO2 emission rate of 120 grams per kilometer will be added to the main pool.

By making these adjustments, we can calculate the tax adjusted trading profit for Greenzone Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2013. This will involve deducting the disallowed expenses, adding back the capitalized expenses, and accounting for the plant and machinery adjustments.

The tax adjusted trading profit for Greenzone Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2013 can be calculated by making the necessary adjustments to the profit figures provided. These adjustments involve capitalizing certain expenses, excluding non-qualifying expenses, and accounting for disposals and acquisitions of plant and machinery.
