Mr Fong’s annual income was $113 400. He donated $100 to Community Chest and he
was entitled to the personal relief of $16,000.
Chargeable income = annual income – donation – total personal relief.
Calculate
(a) Mr Fong’s chargeable income.
Chargeable income = 113 400 − 100 − 16 000
= $ 97 300 B1
Answer $…………………… [1]
(b) the amount of personal income tax that he needed to pay.
Tax payable = $3350 + $17 300 × 11.5% M1
= $3350 + $1989.50
= $5339.50 A1
