Basis

I'm confused with basis points! If debt is available at 5.2% less 30 basis points, is this 0.052 - 0.003? If 10% less 100 basis points, is this 0.100 - 0.010? Correct? Mar Jun question 2. Please explain how there's a "tax relief loss" for years 2 to 5? Thanks a lot.

1 basis point is 0.01%. (so 5.2% less 30 basis points is 5.20 - 0.30 = 4.90%) With regard to your second question, please say for which year the question is in.

In year 1 there is a loss for tax purposes of 14,650. Therefore there is no tax payable, and the loss is subtracted from future years taxable profits.
