    Good Day
    I was practising the questions and came across this one:

    EXAMPLE 2
    For the tax year 2020-21, May has a trading profit of £159,000. During the year, May made net personal pension contributions of £32,000 and a net gift aid donation of £9,600. Her income tax liability is:

    The answer was:

    Trading profit
    159,000
    Personal allowance

    (9,000)
    ______
    Taxable income

    150,000
    ______
    Income tax:
    37,500 at 20%
    52,000 at 20%
    60,500 at 40%

    7,500
    10,400
    24,200
    ______
    Tax liability 42,100

    My question is, how come we didn’t include the nil rate band of 500 @ 0% for higher rate tax payers since the taxable income is 150 000 which is within the higher rate tax band?
    I have done all other calculations correctly except for adding in this nil rate band?

    I have realised my mistake sir, this was only Non-savings income and not savings income.
    My apologies, what an error =(
