1. Peter Tax Liability for Current Year
Taxable Income = Total Income $95,000 - Deductions $25,000 = $70,000
Tax on Income = $14,297
Medicare Levy = $1,400
Total tax liability = $14,297 + 1,400 - 2,000 = $13,697
2. Case I:
MarthaTax Liability for Current Year
Taxable Income = Total Income $100,000 - Deductions $25,000 = $75,000
Tax on Income = $15,922
Medicare Levy = $1,500
Total tax liability/ (Refund) = $15,922 + 1,500 - 20,000 = $(2,578)
