Question

This year Luke has calculated his gross tax liability at $2,120. Luke is entitled to a $2,880 non-refundable personal tax credit, a $1,740 business tax credit, and a $760 refundable personal tax credit. In addition, Luke has had $2,700 of income taxes withheld from his salary. (Input the amount as a positive value.) What is Luke’s net tax due or refund?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3,460

Explanation:

Gross tax liability $2,120

Less non-refundable personal tax credit $2,880

Refundable personal tax credit $760

Hence:

Income taxes withheld $2,700+ $760

=$3,460

Luke’s non refundable personal credit reduces his gross tax to zero ($2120– 2,880) and $760of the unused credit expires unused.

The $1,740 unused business tax credit carries over and Luke receives a refund of $3,460($760 refundable credit + $2,700 taxes he paid)

Luke’s net tax due or refund is $3,460
