Sam has a gross yearly income of €20,700. He has a standard rate cut-off point of
€22,500 and a tax credit of €2,200. The standard rate of tax is 18%. Calculate:
(i)
The amount of gross tax for the year.
Gross tax = 18% of 20700
= 0·18 × 20700
= €3726
All of Sam’s income is under the standard rate cut-off point,
so all tax is charged at 18%:

2.
Tanya has a gross yearly income of €41,500. She has a standard rate cut-off point of
€22,750 and a tax credit of €3,950. The standard rate of tax is 20% of income up to the
standard rate cut-off point and 41% on all income above the standard rate cut-off
point. Calculate:
(i)
The amount of gross tax for the year.
Gross tax = 20% of 22750 + 41% of 18750
= 0·2 × 22750 + 0·41 × 18750
= 4550 + 7687·50
= €12237·50
€41500 – €22750 = €18750 above standard rate

3.
John has a gross income per
fortnight of €1,750.
After tax is paid, what is John’s
net income per fortnight?
The standard rate of income tax is
20% and the higher rate is 42%.
He has tax credits of €105 per
fortnight and his standard rate cut-
off point is €1,295 per fortnight.
Gross tax = 20% of 1295 + 42% of 455
= 0·2 × 1295 + 0·42 × 455
= 259 + 191·10
= €450·10
€1750 – €1295 = €455 above standard rate
Tax paid = Gross tax – Tax credit
= €450·10 – €105
= €345·10
Net pay = Gross pay – Tax paid
= €1750 – €345·10
= €1404·90
4.
Asal pays income tax, a universal social charge (USC) and pay-related social insurance
(PRSI) on her gross wages. Her gross weekly wages are €625.
(i)
Asal pays income tax at a rate of 21%. She has weekly tax credits of €72.
How much income tax does she pay?
Gross tax = 21% of €625
= 0·21 × 625
= €131·25
Tax paid = Gross tax – Tax credit
= €131·25 – €72
= €59·25
4.
Asal pays income tax, a universal social charge (USC) and pay-related social insurance
(PRSI) on her gross wages. Her gross weekly wages are €625.
(ii)
Asal pays USC at the rate of 1·6 % on the first €195, 3% on the next €112
and 5% on the balance. Calculate the amount of USC Asal pays.
1·6% of €195 = 0·016 × 195 = 3·12
3% of €112 = 0·03 × 112 = 3·36
5% of €318 = 0·05 × 318 =
15·90
(€625 – €195 – €112 = €318)
€22·38
4.
Asal pays income tax, a universal social charge (USC) and pay-related social insurance
(PRSI) on her gross wages. Her gross weekly wages are €625.
(iii)
Asal also pays PRSI. Her total weekly deductions of income tax, USC and
PRSI amount to €136·63 How much PRSI does Asal pay?
Total deductions = Income tax + USC + PRSI
€136·63 = €59·25 + €22·38 + PRSI
€136·63 = €81·63 + PRSI
€55 = PRSI
4.
Asal pays income tax, a universal social charge (USC) and pay-related social insurance
(PRSI) on her gross wages. Her gross weekly wages are €625.
(iv)
Hence, find the rate of PRSI, which Asal pays on her gross earnings.

5.
(i)
Calculate the amount of gross tax for the year.
Gross tax = 17% of €588 + 39% of €337
= 0·17 × 588 + 0·39 × 337
= 99·96 + 131·43
= €231·39
Howard has a gross weekly income of €925. He has a standard rate cut-off point of
€588 and a tax credit of €75.
The standard rate of tax is 17% of income up to the standard rate cut-off point and
39% on all income above the standard rate cut-off point.

–
€588 = €337
5.
(ii)
Howard pays a Universal Social Charge (USC) of 1% on the first €300, then
3% on the next €140 and 6% on all remaining income. Calculate how much
USC he owes.
1% of €300 = 0·01 × 300 = 3·00
3% of €140 = 0·03 × 140 = 4·20
6% of €485 = 0·06 × 485 =
29·10
(€925 – €300 – €140 = €485)

€588 and a tax credit of €75.
The standard rate of tax is 17% of income up to the standard rate cut-off point and
39% on all income above the standard rate cut-off point.
(iii)
Calculate Howard’s net salary after tax and USC have been deducted.
Tax paid = Gross tax – Tax credit
= €231·39 – €75
= €156·39
Net salary = Gross salary – Tax paid – USC
= €925 – €156·39 – €36·30
= €732·31

Valerio has a gross yearly income of €73,150. He has a standard rate cut-off point of
€32,500 and a tax credit of €4,850.
The standard rate of tax is 21% of income up to the standard rate cut-off point and
42% on all income above the standard rate cut-off point.
(i)
Calculate the amount of gross tax for the year.
Gross tax = 21% of €32500 + 42% of €40650
= 0·21 × 32500 + 0·42 × 40650
= 6825 + 17073
= €23898
Income above standard rate cut-off point = €73150
–
€32500 = €40650

3% of €8400 = 0·03 × 8400 = 252
6% of €52450 = 0·06 × 52450 =
3147
(€73150 – €12300 – €8400 = €52450)
€3522

Gustav earned €51,000 last year. The standard rate cut-off point was €29,200. The
standard rate of income tax was 18% and the higher rate was 43%. Gustav has tax
credits of €4,300.
(i)
