Here's the solution to the problem:
a) His taxable income in K£ p.a.
Step 1: Calculate Mr. Kinoti's total monthly income in Kshs.
Totalmonthlyincome=Basicsalary+Houseallowance+Medicalallowance
Totalmonthlyincome=Kshs.24,000+Kshs.5,000+Kshs.3,000
Totalmonthlyincome=Kshs.32,000
Step 2: Calculate his total annual income in Kshs.
Totalannualincome=Totalmonthlyincome×12
Totalannualincome=Kshs.32,000×12=Kshs.384,000
Step 3: Convert the annual income from Kshs. to K£.
(Assume 1 K£ = 20 Kshs.)
TaxableincomeinK£p.a.=20Kshs./K£TotalannualincomeinKshs.
TaxableincomeinK£p.a.=20384,000=19,200K£p.a.
- K£19,200
b) The monthly tax that he paid.
Step 1: Calculate the annual gross tax using the provided tax rates.
• First K£ 5,600: 5,600×2=Kshs.11,200
• Next K£ (8,800−5,600)=3,200: 3,200×3=Kshs.9,600
• Next K£ (12,000−8,800)=3,200: 3,200×4=Kshs.12,800
• Next K£ (15,200−12,000)=3,200: 3,200×5=Kshs.16,000
• Next K£ (18,400−15,200)=3,200: 3,200×6=Kshs.19,200
• Remaining K£ (19,200−18,400)=800: 800×7=Kshs.5,600
Totalannualgrosstax=11,200+9,600+12,800+16,000+19,200+5,600
Totalannualgrosstax=Kshs.74,400
Step 2: Calculate the annual personal relief.
Annualpersonalrelief=Kshs.1,100permonth×12months
Annualpersonalrelief=Kshs.13,200
Step 3: Calculate the annual net tax (PAYE).
Annualnettax=Totalannualgrosstax−Annualpersonalrelief
Annualnettax=Kshs.74,400−Kshs.13,200=Kshs.61,200
Step 4: Calculate the monthly tax paid.
Monthlytax=12Annualnettax
Monthlytax=12Kshs.61,200=Kshs.5,100
- Kshs.5,100
c) If his total deductions per month amounted to Kshs. 9,700, calculate his net income per month.
Step 1: Identify the total monthly income.
From part (a), Mr. Kinoti's total monthly income is Kshs. 32,000.
Step 2: Calculate the net income per month.
Netincomepermonth=Totalmonthlyincome−Totalmonthlydeductions
Netincomepermonth=Kshs.32,000−Kshs.9,700
Netincomepermonth=Kshs.22,300
- Kshs.22,300
