    For 2014 kit Question 1:

    If Styrax saved income tax 20%, NIC4 9%, he would also save the NIC1 13.8%*(20%+9%)=4%

    How to understand 13.8%*(20%+9%)=4%?

    well I can explain maths:
    13.8%*(20+9%)=13.8%*29%
    convert percentages into decimals:
    0.138*0.29
    =0.04
    convert into percentage
    =4%

    Yes, thanks. I understand the calculation process. I just don’t understand the function logic.

    For an self employer, he should deduct the NIC1 secondary (13.8%) which is deductive before income tax and NIC 4.

    Therefore i am not quite sure the logic of function 13.8%*(20%+9%)=4% is right or not. since the logic of this function seems to indicate 13.8% is after income tax and NIC4
