Question
In the previous year, SAM Ltd had made a tax loss of 250,000. SAM Ltd had claimed exempt income of 69,00075,000$12,000
Solution
First, we need to calculate the taxable income for the current year. This is done by subtracting the exempt income from the taxable profit before recoupment of tax loss:
40,000 = $210,000
Next, we need to recoup the tax loss from the previous year. This is done by subtracting the tax loss from the taxable income:
60,000 = $150,000
Finally, we calculate the tax liability by multiplying the taxable income after recoupment of tax loss by the tax rate:
45,000
So, the current tax liability of SAM Ltd after recoupment of the tax loss is $45,000. However, this option is not available in the given choices. Please check the numbers or the options again.
