A company has a revenue of Rs. 2,000,000 and deductible expenses of Rs. 1,500,000. If the corporate tax rate is 25%, how much tax does the company owe?
  • a)
    Rs. 125,000    
  • b)

  • c)
    Rs. 375,000    
  • d)
    Rs. 500,000
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

The taxable income is calculated by subtracting deductible expenses from revenue: Rs. 2,000,000 - Rs. 1,500,000 = Rs. 500,000. The tax owed is then calculated by multiplying the taxable income by the tax rate: Rs. 500,000 * 0.25 = Rs. 125,000.

Capital gains tax is calculated on the profit made from selling the stock. Profit = Selling price - Purchase price = Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 7,000 = Rs. 3,000. Tax = Profit * Capital gains tax rate = Rs. 3,000 * 0.1667 (for the average tax rate) = Rs. 500.

If the sales tax rate is 8% and you buy a laptop for Rs. 1000, how much tax do you pay?

    Rs. 88   
  • c)
    Rs. 100   
  • d)
    Rs. 108
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

KP Classes answered
The tax paid is calculated by multiplying the price of the laptop by the sales tax rate: Rs. 1000 * 0.08 = Rs. 80. So, the total amount paid including tax is Rs. 1000 + Rs. 80 = Rs. 108.

Calculate the total income tax for an individual with taxable income of Rs. 75,000 if the tax rates are 10% on the first Rs. 10,000, 15% on the next Rs. 20,000, and 25% on the remaining amount.
  • a)
    Rs. 10,500   
  • b)
    Rs. 11,250   
  • c)
    Rs. 15,250   
  • d)
    Rs. 15,000
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tax is calculated in tiers: 
  • On the first Rs. 10,000: Rs. 10,000 * 0.10 = Rs. 1,000
  • On the next Rs. 20,000 (total Rs. 10,001 to Rs. 30,000): Rs. 20,000 * 0.15 = Rs. 3,000
  • On the remaining Rs. 45,000 (total Rs. 30,001 to Rs. 75,000): Rs. 45,000 * 0.25 = Rs. 11,250
Total tax = Rs. 1,000 + Rs. 3,000 + Rs. 11,250 = Rs. 13,750.

A tax system in which the average tax rate increases as the taxpayer's income increases is known as:
  • a)

  • d)
    Proportional tax
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

In a progressive tax system, as income increases, the average tax rate also increases. This means that higher-income individuals pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes compared to lower-income individuals.
