You work as a tax senior in an ICAEW firm, and two clients, Raphael and Degas require advice.

Raphael requires advice on the tax reliefs available for a possible investment in shares in Urbino Ltd and redundancy payments.

Raphael's cousin, Degas, has inherited the whole of his father Constable's estate, and is seeking advice on how much he can expect to receive after inheritance tax has been deducted. He also wants to know how the tax could be reduced by leaving part of the estate to charity.

The following information has been obtained from telephone conversations with Raphael and Degas.
