Hi,
Can somebody help me with this question, i have calculate tax liability 9,000.
Non - Saving income
34,000 @ 20% = 6800
Saving income
500 @ 0 = 0
8000 @ 20% = 1600
1500 @ 40% = 600
Total = 9000
Please Check the below example and how they answer it

Tax liability

Henri is a higher rate taxpayer, so his savings income nil rate band is £500.
The savings income nil rate band of £500 counts towards the basic rate threshold of £37,500. This is then extended by £4,000.
Savings income can also benefit from the starting rate of 0%. However, the starting rate only applies where savings income falls within the first £5,000 of taxable income. If non-savings income exceeds £5,000, then the starting rate of 0% for savings does not apply.
Ask the Tutor ACCA TX-UK
Finance act 2019 - Example 4
It appears that in your answer you have extended the basic rate band limit to 42,500 but it should only be extended by 4,000 to 41,500
The question states the GROSS PPC are 4,000 - so 37,500 + 4,000 = 41,500
Have you incorrectly grossed up the PPC to 5,000 and hence your wrong answer?
Dear Sir,
First of all, thank your for kind reply, please note that i have calculate the 5000 based on the following calculation :
37500 + (4000 * 100/80) = 42,500.
Yes, i have extended by 5000, so based on your reply, if the question stated its GROSS, no need for the above calculation, we take the figure which is given in the question and extend the limits, however if its not stated as GROSS we then have to multiple it with 100/80 to obtain the new limit.
Is it Correct ?
That is correct
