About this lesson
You'll learn how to allocate different income types (employment, savings, and dividends) into the correct columns, apply personal allowances, and calculate tax at the appropriate rates for each income stream. This is a core skill for the Taxation paper, where you'll frequently need to compute both income tax liability and income tax payable—and understanding the difference between them is essential for getting marks right. By the end, you'll see how to account for tax deducted at source and arrive at the final amount due or repayable.
