    Generally, taxable income is your gross payments, less tax deductions.

        Gross payments should be your net amount plus tax withheld. (Im not sure of your exact terminology on the statement).

        If you don't have any other allowances etc, your taxable income should be equal to your gross payments.

        Probably easier if you blacked out your details and uploaded it for us to see.

        No. Taxable income is gross income less tax deductions.

  • If you have no other investments, then yes your taxable income will be the amount you earn BEFORE tax is taken out. It can be a bit more complicated with tax deductions , but I wouldn’t worry about that for now.

    No pretty please.

    Taxable income = to what you earn before tax.

    Your taxable income aka. Gross = net + tax withheld.

    Provided you have no other sort of income

  • Taxable income is the amount you earn before the government fumbles around in your pockets to pull out all your big notes, leaving you with change to get a 7-11 coffee.

  • In a simplified world your taxable income is your salary BEFORE any tax is withheld.

    In the practical world, you take your taxable income as defined above and then ADD all income for other sources (rent, interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.) and DEDUCT all allowable tax expenses (interest paid on investment debt, accountant fees, allowable expenses connected to earning income such as agents' fees, landlord insurance, repairs to property, etc.).
