Then he pay Rs. 10000 more income tax. What was his increased income? Correct Answer 25 lakhs
Given∶
His annual
But the tax on the income that he had to pay has been reduced from 12% to 10%.
He pay Rs. 10000 more income tax.
Formula Used∶
Basics of percentage.
Calculation∶
Let the original income be Rs. x.
New income = x + 500000
Income tax paid when tax is 12% = 0.12x
Income tax paid now when tax is 10% = (x + 500000) × 0.1 = 0.1x + 50000
Difference between both Income taxes = 10,000
0.1x + 50000 - 0.12x = 10000
⇒ 0.02x = 40000
⇒ x = 40000 / 0.02
⇒ x = 2000000
Original income = x = Rs. 2000000
So, Increased income = x + 500000 = 2000000 + 500000 = Rs. 2500000
