Q. Michael and Della are married. In the tax year 2016/17, Michael earned 12400 over his personal allowance. Della made no income. Della has made an election for her personal allowance for the year 2016/2017.
What is Michael’s tax liability?
A. Tax= 12400 @ 20% =2480
less transferred personal allowance tax reducer £1100 x 20% = 220
liability= 2260.is £1100 a set amount? where did it come from?

If you had worked through chapter 2 you would not have asked either of the 2 questions you have just submitted!
Tax is all about rules that need to be learned – if you do not learn them you cannot answer the questions!November 9, 2017 at 1:04 pm #414985Thank you for your response.
