Here is the computation of Ofonime's tax liability for the relevant year of assessment, which is assumed to be 2010, the year of his retirement.

Assumptions:

  • The official car benefit is calculated as 5%5\% of its market value.
  • Gratuity and lump sum for loss of office are exempt from income tax.
  • Dependent relative relief is limited to N2,000\text{N}2,000 per dependent, for a maximum of two dependents, as per the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) 2004.
  • Consolidated Relief Allowance (CRA) for 2010 is calculated as the higher of N5,000\text{N}5,000 or 1%1\% of gross income, plus 20%20\% of gross income.
  1. Calculate Gross Emoluments

    This includes all taxable income and benefits in kind.

    • Salary: N500,000\text{N}500,000
    • Accommodation: N180,000\text{N}180,000
    • Official Car Benefit: 5%5\% of N2,000,000=N100,000\text{N}2,000,000 = \text{N}100,000
    Gross Emoluments=N500,000+N180,000+N100,000=N780,000\text{Gross Emoluments} = \text{N}500,000 + \text{N}180,000 + \text{N}100,000 = \text{N}780,000
  2. Deduct Allowable Expenses/Contributions
