Worked solution

8((a))

1. Find the assessable income after subtracting approved donations from total income.

p=123419.00−1543.00=121876.00p=123419.00-1543.00=121876.00

2. Find the total personal reliefs by using assessable income and chargeable income.

Since
Chargeable Income=Assessable Income−Total Personal Reliefs,\text{Chargeable Income}=\text{Assessable Income}-\text{Total Personal Reliefs},
q=121876.00−100058.00=21818.00q=121876.00-100058.00=21818.00

Answer

p=$121875.00p=\char36{}121875.00

q=$21817.00q=\char36{}21817.00

8(b)(i)

1. Identify the relevant tax bracket and the taxable amount in that bracket.

Ahmad's chargeable income is $100058.00\char36{}100058.00.

From the table, tax on the first $80000\char36{}80000 is $3350\char36{}3350.

Amount taxed at 11.5%11.5\%:
100058−80000=20058100058-80000=20058

2. Calculate the tax on the remaining amount and add it to the tax on the first $80000$.

Tax on the next $20058\char36{}20058:
11.5%×20058=0.115×20058=2306.6711.5\%\times 20058=0.115\times 20058=2306.67

Total tax payable:
3350+2306.67=5656.673350+2306.67=5656.67

Answer

Ahmad's income tax payable is $5656.67\char36{}5656.67.

8(b)(ii)

1. Find Angie's income tax payable from Ahmad's income tax payable.

Ahmad's income tax payable is $5656.67\char36{}5656.67.

Angie's income tax payable
=0.55×5656.67=3111.1685≈$3111.17=0.55\times 5656.67=3111.1685\approx \$3111.17

2. Identify the tax bracket for Angie's tax payable.

From the tax table:

Tax on the first $40000\char36{}40000 is $550\char36{}550.

Tax on the first $80000\char36{}80000 is $3350\char36{}3350.

Since
550<3111.17<3350,550<3111.17<3350,
Angie's chargeable income is between $40000\char36{}40000 and $80000\char36{}80000.

So the extra income above $40000\char36{}40000 is taxed at 7%7\%.

3. Calculate Angie's actual chargeable income from her tax payable.

Extra tax above the first $40000\char36{}40000:
3111.17−550=2561.173111.17-550=2561.17

Let the extra chargeable income above $40000\char36{}40000 be xx.

7% of x=2561.177\%\text{ of }x=2561.17
0.07x=2561.170.07x=2561.17
x=2561.170.07=36588.142…x=\frac{2561.17}{0.07}=36588.142\ldots

Angie's chargeable income
=40000+36588.142…=76588.142…=40000+36588.142\ldots=76588.142\ldots
≈$76588.14\approx \$76588.14

4. Compare Angie's actual chargeable income with 0.55 of Ahmad's chargeable income and conclude.

Ahmad's chargeable income is $100058\char36{}100058.

0.550.55 of Ahmad's chargeable income
=0.55×100058=55031.90=0.55\times 100058=55031.90

But
76588.14≠55031.90.76588.14\ne 55031.90.

Therefore, Angie's chargeable income is not 0.550.55 of Ahmad's chargeable income.

Answer

No, I do not agree.

Angie's income tax payable is $3111.17\char36{}3111.17, so her chargeable income is about $76588.14\char36{}76588.14.

But 0.550.55 of Ahmad's chargeable income is only $55031.90\char36{}55031.90.

Hence Angie's chargeable income is not 0.550.55 of Ahmad's chargeable income.
