nichol Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I also tried to understand this but as you can see it is not very clear at all, also I read about a 20% fixed rate new corporate tax law that is to stay permanently so I would also be interested in some answers in plain English.

Browner1980 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 TAXABLE INCOME = Assessable Income - deductions - allowances I don't fully understand the two options you are suggesting, but I think it is a). Basically, you take your income, then subtract all the deductions, and all the allowances. This is then your taxable income, for which you apply the progressive tax rates in Section 3.1.

blackcab Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Question: Are the amounts , a/ To come off the Gross annual income at the end of the year to calculate the new taxable income? b/ The actual amount to reduce the amount of tax payable after the calculation? Answer: a/ Yes. b/ No. The amounts listed (if applicable) are deducted from your gross taxable income. Calculate your income. Now deduct your allowances and deductions. Now calculate the tax payable on this amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
