    Hello,

    Need your help to tackle this question below.

    Charles is self-employed, and his tax adjusted trading profit for the year ended
    31 December 2017 was £110,400. During the tax year 2017/18 Charles made a gift aid donation of £800 (gross) to a national charity.
    Charles has been a member of a registered personal pension scheme since May 2015.
    He made a gross contribution of £25,000 in the tax year 2015/16 but has not made any
    subsequent contributions.

    1. The answer is £6,700.
    2. The ANI is calculated as follows:
    Personal allowance 11,500
    Total income = net income 110,400
    Less: Gross gift aid (800)
    –––––––
    ANI 109,600
    Less: Income limit (100,000)
    –––––––
    Reduction of PA 9,600 × 50% (4,800)
    ––––––– ––––––
    Adjusted PA 6,700.

    3. Could you explain why £25,000 has not been deducted from the trading income?

    Thanks.

    The pension contribution was made in the 2015/16 tax year NOT 2017/18!
