The table shows the total tax paid (£) on annual taxable income.

For example, a person with an annual taxable income of £45,000 will pay £4,125 plus 20% of (£45,000 – £31,500).

1. Ruoxuan has an annual taxable income of £23,330. The income tax, to the nearest £, he has to pay is:
  • 6
    1

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C.

    £23,300 fits into the second tax bracket… £12,000 gets taxed at 10%, yielding £1,200 (as shown in the RH column)

    The remaining (£23,330 – £12,000) = £11,330 gets taxed at 15%, yielding £1,699.50 – adding this to £1,200 makes £2,900 (4sf)

    2. Olenka has an annual taxable income of £114,050. The income tax she has to pay is:
  • 4
    5

    Explanation

    The correct answer is B.

    £114,050 fits into the fifth tax bracket:

    The RH column shows that the first £81,450 yields £16,500 tax;

    Then, the remaining (£114,050 – £81,450) = £32,600 gets taxed at 37%, yielding £12,062 and thus a total of £28,562

    3. Max pays £10,000 tax per year. What is his taxable income, to the nearest £10, before tax is deducted?
  • 6
    3

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    If Max pays £10,000 tax per year, his income must lie in the fourth tax bracket (i.e. he earns £54,950 to £81,450).

    £10,000 – £8,815 = £1,185, which must have come from £1,185/0.29 = £4,086.21 (2dp). Adding this to £54,950 gives £59,040 (5sf)

    4. Marie-Jo has an annual taxable income equivalent to £4,000 per month. If she wants to save enough money each month to cover her tax for the year, how much must she save as a rough percentage of her monthly income?
  • 1
    2

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    £4,000 per month = £48,000 per year, i.e. 3rd tax bracket

    Tax for the year = £4,125 + [ 20% x (£48,000 – £31,500) ]  = £4,125 + 20% x 16,500 = £4,125 + 3,300 = £7,425

    Percentage of income = (£7,425 / £48,000) x 100 = 15.5% (3sf)
