Answer to Question 1

Firstly we need to convert all the net income into the gross income as under:

Particulars $
Gross Salary ($ 55,000 + $ 18,000) 73,000
Fully Franked Dividend 9,800
Unfranked Dividend 900
Gross Interest Received ($ 954 + 846) 1800
Taxable Income 85,500

Answer to Question 2

Tax Scale for 2017-18 is as under:

Taxable Income Tax On This Income
0 to $18,200 Nil
$18,201 to $37,000 19c for each $1 over $18,200
$37,001 to $87,000 $3,572 plus 32.5c for each $1 over $37,000
$87,001 to $180,000 $19,822 plus 37c for each $1 over $87,000
$180,001 and over $54,232 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,000

As our taxable income is $ 85,500 so the tax bracket that would be applicable would be $ 37,001 to $ 87,000.

& the Tax payable would be $ 19,334.5 ($ 3,572 + 15,762 (85,500 - 37,000 *32.5%))

Medicare levy would be 2 % of taxable income so it would be = $ 85,500 * 2% = $ 1,710

Tax payable/refundable calculation is as under:

Particulars $
Tax payable (A) 19,334.50
Less: PAYG Withheld: (B) 18,000
Less: Franking Credit © 4200
Less: TFN Credit (D) 846
Income Tax Refundable (A-B-C-D) -3,711.5
