    Peter has taxable income as follows:

    Non-savings Income 2,000
    Savings Income 6,410

    a.882
    b.482
    c.1,082
    d.1,682

    In the answer it says, a direct 20% on Non-savings Income, but aren’t we suppose to deduct the PA first applicable to NSI, which would make a nil(0) tax on NSI

    BPP says, the answer is 882
    where as I only get a mere 82

    Please help.

    I do not have the BPP study material but your problem is that you have not read the question properly – a usual student problem I would add and a major factor in students getting MCQ’s wrong!
    Look at the first line in the question – it says TAXABLE income – so the PA has already been deducted!
