Hello,
Questions: income tax computation
1. Does the tax deducted at source by the employer only relate to employment income?
2. Does it take all the tax chargeable to that specific employees employment income (i.e his salary) or is it just some portion of the tax chargeable on the employees’ income and the rest is still a tax liability?
3. Is tax payable = tax liability – tax deduced from PAYE system by employer, because there are other incomes (namely saving income and dividends), and not just non-saving interest income that will have tax deduction with their respective different rates? so there is still a tax liability that must be charged for those other incomes so its tax liability – tax deducted from PAYE?
4. then if there’s no employment income, will tax liability = tax payable?
Thank you very much.
Looking forward to hearing from you,May 30, 2019 at 6:29 pm #5179715. Is it compulsory for the employer to use PAYE system to deduct employment income tax ? i.e do all employers do it?
June 1, 2019 at 10:22 am #5181721. yes
2. tax deducted on the total amounts paid
3. tax payable is the tax liability less the PAYE deducted at source
4. if there is no PAYE then tax liability and tax payable are the same
5. yesJune 1, 2019 at 4:15 pm #518224If all the tax for employee’s salary is deducted at source via PAYE, why is there tax liability left to pay?
Does it come from the other incomes tax charges?
June 1, 2019 at 4:16 pm #518225i.e 2. Does the PAYE system deduct all the employment income tax to be paid?

Yes it should though there may be a difference due to what assessable benefits a taxpayer has.June 5, 2019 at 10:02 pm #519247Could you clarify sentence 2 please? how could the difference occur due to these assessable benefits? how are the employers aware of something that the HMRC are not or is it the other way around?
June 7, 2019 at 4:48 am #519481The employer must inform HMRC following the end of the year of the benefits they have provided to an employee – if a new benefit has been provided during that tax year then HMRC would not previously have known about this – you will read about the PAYE system in chapter 9
