Solution

Step 1: Calculate the taxable income for the current year. The taxable profit before recoupment of tax loss is 250,000.SinceSAMLtdhadclaimedexemptincomeof250,000. Since SAM Ltd had claimed exempt income of 40,000, we subtract this from the taxable profit. So, the taxable income for the current year is 250,000250,000 - 40,000 = $210,000.

Step 2: Recoup the tax loss from the previous year. The tax loss from the previous year is 60,000.Wesubtractthisfromthetaxableincomeforthecurrentyear.So,thetaxableincomeafterrecoupmentoftaxlossis60,000. We subtract this from the taxable income for the current year. So, the taxable income after recoupment of tax loss is 210,000 - 60,000=60,000 = 150,000.

Step 3: Calculate the current tax liability. The tax rate is 30%. So, the current tax liability is 30% of the taxable income after recoupment of tax loss. Therefore, the current tax liability of SAM Ltd is 30% of 150,000=150,000 = 45,000.
