Quick Q about tax

strokebow1

Hi,


I have a form which tells me for a particular period "in the 2013/14 tax year we paid a total allowance of £4238 of which £4122 was taxable". Please can anyone tell me:
"Total before tax taken off":


and
"Tax taken off":
cheers

it would help if you told us what the form is so we don't have to guess what it is and whether the tax is income tax or something else...

also since the 13/14 tax year has not finished what is the form doing out yet.....

Hi Thanks for your reply.

Its an R27 for a deceased family member.

Any help from anyone is really appreciated.

i am guessing it is the difference:
tax taken off = 116.50

does that sound right?

no that does not sound right.

the mathematical difference of £116.50 can't be the tax paid because the amount on which tax is calculated is the £4122 taxable sum so basic rate tax on that would be £824 but we have no idea of the rest of the situation of the deceased to know what tax is actually due at what rate

based on the wording if an allowance was "paid" then that implies it is some form of income (car allowance? expenses allowance?) but only some of it is taxable, how much tax is due on that 4211 is unclear without knowing the full context of which questions on the R27 you are trying to answer

sorry but if you are trying to DIY a final tax return for a deceased person and are acting as their personal representative/executor it sounds as though you may be out of your depth and unless you share further there is not a lot anyone can do to help you
