Calculating Additional Tax on Income Increase

The problem requires finding the difference in tax payable between two different taxable incomes using the provided tax slabs.

Calculating Last Year's Tax (Rs. 22000)

Tax calculation for Rs. 22000 taxable income:

  • On first Rs. 5000: $5000 \times 2\% = 5000 \times 0.02 = 100$
  • On income from Rs. 5001 to Rs. 10000 (Rs. 5000): $5000 \times 3\% = 5000 \times 0.03 = 150$
  • On income from Rs. 10001 to Rs. 20000 (Rs. 10000): $10000 \times 5\% = 10000 \times 0.05 = 500$
  • On income from Rs. 20001 to Rs. 22000 (Rs. 2000): $2000 \times 8\% = 2000 \times 0.08 = 160$

Total Tax Last Year = $100 + 150 + 500 + 160 = 910$

Calculating This Year's Tax (Rs. 34200)

Tax calculation for Rs. 34200 taxable income:

  • On first Rs. 5000: $5000 \times 2\% = 5000 \times 0.02 = 100$
  • On income from Rs. 5001 to Rs. 10000 (Rs. 5000): $5000 \times 3\% = 5000 \times 0.03 = 150$
  • On income from Rs. 10001 to Rs. 20000 (Rs. 10000): $10000 \times 5\% = 10000 \times 0.05 = 500$
  • On income from Rs. 20001 to Rs. 30000 (Rs. 10000): $10000 \times 8\% = 10000 \times 0.08 = 800$
  • On income from Rs. 30001 to Rs. 34200 (Rs. 4200): $4200 \times 10\% = 4200 \times 0.10 = 420$

Total Tax This Year = $100 + 150 + 500 + 800 + 420 = 1970$

Finding the Additional Tax Payable

The additional tax is the difference between this year's tax and last year's tax.

Additional Tax = Total Tax This Year - Total Tax Last Year

Additional Tax = $1970 - 910 = 1060$

Therefore, the additional amount of tax to be paid this year is Rs. 1060.
