He raised an invoice for his client in the sum of £100 plus VAT at 20% total £120; which the client duly paid.
At the end of the month he paid himself the additional £100 as a result his monthly payroll figures increased by the following amounts.
Income Tax | £40.00 |
Employers NI | £13.80 |
Employees NI | £2.00 |
Net Pay | £44.20 |
Total | £100.00 |
On the way home from work that Saturday lunchtime he stopped off at his local petrol station to top up with petrol spending £44.20, equal to just under 33 litres of petrol at £1.35 a litre. The total spend can be broken down as follows.
Fuel Duty | £19.32 |
VAT | £7.37 |
Petrol | £17.52 |
Total | £44.20 |
Out of the total £120.00 that he invoiced his client the government received in various taxes £102.48 and he received petrol valued at £17.52. That can't be right, can it?
He has made a mistake somewhere in his calculations, hasn't he?
