Hi,
There is a question in Income Tax computation as “Thomas earned £160,000 trading profit in 2023/24 In the tax year he paid £6,400 to charity under the
gift aid scheme.
Calculate Thomas’s income tax liability for 2023/24. ”In the solution provided at the end, I could in income tax calculation as
(W2) 45,700 @ 20% = 9,140
(W3) 112,300 @ 40% = 44,920
2,000 @ 45% = 900
160,000
Income Tax Liability 54,960In (W2) Gross gift aid extends both rate bands:
BRB: 37,700 + (6,400 × 100/80) = 45,700
HRB: 125,140 + (6,400 × 100/80) = 133,140(W3) 133,140 – 45,700 = 87,440
Could you please explain how 114300 is splitted into 112300 and 2000 for tax calculations with suitable calculations and tax liability is 54960 ? while I got it as 54860 by doing 20% of 45700 + 40% of 114300
WHICH IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND HOW TO RESOLVE THE INCOME FOR HIGHER RATE AND ADDITIONAL RATE IN EXAM AS WELL ?
July 4, 2024 at 12:12 pm #707820The answer does not make sense – where did you get the question – the maths is all wrong???
July 4, 2024 at 12:15 pm #707822Is this Ch2 example 12?
July 4, 2024 at 12:18 pm #707823If so – tax is as follows:
45700 @ Br
87440 @ Hr
26860 @ ARTotal tax 56203
