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!
Your 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
