In this illustration, you'll work through a multi-income tax calculation involving both trade profits and savings income. Michael earned £13,000 from self-employment and £40,000 in savings interest, which triggers several key tax bands you need to apply in the correct order.

About this lesson
You'll learn how the starting rate band for savings income works when non-savings income is below £5,000, how to calculate the savings nil rate band for higher rate taxpayers, and how to allocate income across the basic and higher rate bands systematically. This worked example is essential for understanding income tax computations in the Taxation module, where you'll encounter similar multi-source income scenarios in both objective tests and case studies.
