in Personal Tax
Hi guys, could someone help me with the below please?
Question 8b
Ruby has total income of £105,000 for 2020/21. She wants to pay into a private pension scheme so that she protects her full
personal allowances of £12,500. She therefore needs to pay at least [answer] into a private pension scheme.
I thought the answer is £5000 (£105000-£5000-£100000)x0.5 but I checked the answers sheet and the correct answer is £4000 and I dont see why
Question 8c
Yong, a higher rate taxpayer, was provided with a company car for the whole of 2020/21. The car was registered on 21 March 2020. The cost of the car used in the benefit in kind computation was £31,500. It has a petrol engine and taxable benefit in kind for 2020/2021 is £5670.
If the car had been registered and received by Yong. on 10 April 2020, he would save [answer] in income tax
The correct answer is 252. Anyone knows how to do the calculation?
Cheers!

8b
She needs to add £5,000 to her pension scheme but makes a cash payment of the amount net of tax, £4,000, and the pension company claims the £1,000 tax from HMRC.
8c
There are different rules for cars registered after 6th April 2020.
Under the old rules the rate applied was 18% (5670/31500)
This means that the emissions were 65-69 g/km
For cars like this, registered after 6/4/20, the rate is 16%, giving a saving of £2520 -
That's great, thanks very much Peter!PeterC said:8b

But how exactly we do get 252 in 8c? 31500 * 18% = 5670, 31500 * 16% = 50400 -
There's another step to the calculation.
5670-5040 = 630 (less)
Higher rate so tax at 40%
630 * 0.4 = 252AAT Level 4, MAAT
