1. if I get a tax liability of £1282.5 (so a decimal number) do I round it up or down? because the kaplan book rounded it down and I wanted to know if there is like a rule outside of maths.
2. the kaplan textbook has total colume first (from left to right) followed by non-savings income, savings income and dividends income. It also writes basic rate or higher rate when doing the tax calculations – is this the standard format in the exam such that exam questions may require you to drag or fill in using this format, or can I use the one you suggested (which I much prefer)?
Thank you.

You can use whatever format that you choose as both are correct – as regards what an individual objective testing question may ask you to do well that is down to the examiner – you should be capable of using either format if required - AuthorPosts
