With reference to practise Q20 GEORGE, part b, 2016/17 personal pension contribution of 90000 is reduced by tapered 2016/17 AA of 30000 and 30000 b/f unused AA of 2015/16.
I am confused by the AA b/f of 30000. In 2015/16, income is 170000, the AA needs to be tapered by (170000-150000/2) to 30000, he made a 10000 personal pension contribution, unused AA b/f should be 30000-10000=20000 instead of 30000?
If you refer to p.70 of the course notes you will see that this topic is introduced with the statement “For the tax year 2016/17 onwards ………”, hence no tapering for 2015/16
