From BPP Revision Kit (UK version) there is a question:
Judith works for S Ltd for an annual salary of $18,000. On 30 September 2016, she received a bonus of $4,000 in respect of S Ltd’s trading results for the year ended 31 March 2016. She expected to receive a bonus of $4,800 on 30 September 2017 in respect of S Ltd’s results for the year ended 31 March 2017. Judith also received $500 form a customer on 1 December 2016 as a gratuity for good service.
What is Judith ‘s employment income for the tax year 2016/2017?I wonder whether the income of $500 was treated as income for tax year 2016/2017 or 2017/2018. If it treated as income for 2016/2017, the total income will be $22,500 for year 2016/2017. In reversion, it will be treated as income for 2017/2018, the total income will be $22,000 for the year 2016/2017.
Please help me explain about this!
Thank you!July 31, 2017 at 10:52 am #399680Your BPP kit should have the answer to the question and not sure what you mean by “in reversion…..”
Employment income is assessed on a received basis so 2016/17 should include 18,000 + 4,000 + 500 - AuthorPosts
