Step-by-step solution

5 steps
Taxable Income=35000−1750=GHC 33250\text{Taxable Income} = 35000 - 1750 = \text{GHC } 33250

a) His taxable income is GHC 33250\boxed{\text{GHC } 33250}.

b) Calculate his annual income tax.

  1. Apply the tax schedule to the taxable income of GHC 33,250.

    • First GHC 240: Taxed at 0% (Free).

      Tax1=0×240=GHC 0\text{Tax}_1 = 0 \times 240 = \text{GHC } 0

      Remaining taxable income: 33250−240=3301033250 - 240 = 33010

    • Next GHC 240: Taxed at 5%.

      Tax2=0.05×240=GHC 12\text{Tax}_2 = 0.05 \times 240 = \text{GHC } 12

      Remaining taxable income: 33010−240=3277033010 - 240 = 32770

    • Next GHC 1,200: Taxed at 10%.

      Tax3=0.10×1200=GHC 120\text{Tax}_3 = 0.10 \times 1200 = \text{GHC } 120

      Remaining taxable income: 32770−1200=3157032770 - 1200 = 31570

    • Next GHC 2,000: Taxed at 17.5%.

      Tax4=0.175×2000=GHC 350\text{Tax}_4 = 0.175 \times 2000 = \text{GHC } 350

      Remaining taxable income: 31570−2000=2957031570 - 2000 = 29570

    • Next GHC 2,000: Taxed at 24%.

      Tax5=0.24×2000=GHC 480\text{Tax}_5 = 0.24 \times 2000 = \text{GHC } 480

      Remaining taxable income: 29570−2000=2757029570 - 2000 = 27570

  2. Calculate tax on the remaining income.

    The tax schedule provided ends at the 24% bracket. For the remaining GHC 27,570, we assume the next progressive tax rate, which is commonly 30%.

    • Remaining GHC 27,570: Taxed at 30% (Assumption based on typical progressive tax schedules). Tax6=0.30×27570=GHC 8271\text{Tax}_6 = 0.30 \times 27570 = \text{GHC } 8271
  3. Sum all tax amounts to find the total annual income tax.

    Total Annual Income Tax=Tax1+Tax2+Tax3+Tax4+Tax5+Tax6\text{Total Annual Income Tax} = \text{Tax}_1 + \text{Tax}_2 + \text{Tax}_3 + \text{Tax}_4 + \text{Tax}_5 + \text{Tax}_6 Total Annual Income Tax=0+12+120+350+480+8271=GHC 9233\text{Total Annual Income Tax} = 0 + 12 + 120 + 350 + 480 + 8271 = \text{GHC } 9233

    b) His annual income tax is GHC 9233\boxed{\text{GHC } 9233}.

    c) Calculate his annual income deductions.
    The only deduction mentioned is the Social Security Contribution, as he pays no tax on this amount.

    Annual Income Deductions=Social Security Contribution=GHC 1750\text{Annual Income Deductions} = \text{Social Security Contribution} = \text{GHC } 1750

    c) His annual income deductions are GHC 1750\boxed{\text{GHC } 1750}.

    d) Calculate his net annual salary.

  4. Calculate total deductions.

    Total deductions include the Social Security Contribution and the Annual Income Tax.

    Total Deductions=Social Security Contribution+Annual Income Tax\text{Total Deductions} = \text{Social Security Contribution} + \text{Annual Income Tax} Total Deductions=1750+9233=GHC 10983\text{Total Deductions} = 1750 + 9233 = \text{GHC } 10983
  5. Subtract total deductions from the annual salary to find the net annual salary.

    Net Annual Salary=Annual Salary−Total Deductions\text{Net Annual Salary} = \text{Annual Salary} - \text{Total Deductions} Net Annual Salary=35000−10983=GHC 24017\text{Net Annual Salary} = 35000 - 10983 = \text{GHC } 24017

    d) His net annual salary is GHC 24017\boxed{\text{GHC } 24017}.
