REQUIRED
Calculate Kay’s personal tax liability for the year ended 30 June 2023. You should explain your treatment of each item in this question. Figures must be rounded to the nearest dollar and do not include cents in your calculations.
Your answer should be in the correct format of Assessable Income less Allowable Deductions. This gives you Taxable Income and you multiply this by the different marginal tax rates plus Medicare levy. This gives you tax payable less any tax offsets. The terms ‘Payments’ and ‘Receipts’ are not part of the Tax Formula and are not appropriate for taxation accounting.
In this essay, we will calculate Kay Lee’s personal tax liability for the financial year ending 30 June 2023. Kay operates a restaurant named ‘The Fried Noodle Bar’ in Sydney as a sole trader. We will analyze each item of her receipts and payments to arrive at her assessable income, allowable deductions, taxable income, and finally, her tax liability. All figures will be rounded to the nearest dollar.
Assessable Income – Allowable Deductions = Taxable Income: $405,000 – $180,320 = $224,680
We will now apply the tax rates to the taxable income to calculate the tax payable.
Medicare Levy: 2% of Taxable Income
Medicare Levy: 2% of $224,680 = $4,494
Total Tax Payable: $70,750 + $4,494 = $75,244
In conclusion, Kay Lee’s personal tax liability for the year ended 30 June 2023 is $75,244. This calculation was done by deducting allowable deductions from assessable income to arrive at taxable income. Then, applying the relevant tax rates and Medicare levy, we calculated the tax payable. It’s important to note that the depreciation deduction for the new cooking equipment has not been included in this calculation as it was not provided in the initial figures. This comprehensive analysis of Kay’s financial data ensures an accurate determination of her tax liability for the specified period.
