2 Show with calculations that Ms Matinga will receive R13 344 medical tax credits for the 2021/22 tax year. Calculate the mount of tax Mr Malinga nust pay for \( 2021 / 22 \) tax year.

To solve the problem, we need to break it down into two parts: 1. **Calculating Ms. Matinga's medical tax credits for the 2021/22 tax year.** 2. **Calculating the amount of tax Mr. Malinga must pay for the 2021/22 tax year.** ### Part 1: Medical Tax Credits for Ms. Matinga The medical tax credits in South Africa for the 2021/22 tax year are structured as follows: - For the first two beneficiaries (the taxpayer and their first dependent), the credit is R332 each per month. - For each additional dependent, the credit is R224 each per month. Let's assume Ms. Matinga has a certain number of dependents. We will denote: - \( d \): the number of dependents. The total medical tax credit can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Total Medical Tax Credit} = (332 \times 2 + 224 \times (d - 2)) \times 12 \] This formula accounts for the first two beneficiaries and any additional dependents. To show that Ms. Matinga will receive R13,344, we can set up the equation: \[ (332 \times 2 + 224 \times (d - 2)) \times 12 = 13344 \] Now, let's solve for \( d \). ### Part 2: Tax Calculation for Mr. Malinga To calculate Mr. Malinga's tax, we need to know his taxable income and the applicable tax rates for the 2021/22 tax year. The tax rates for individuals in South Africa for the 2021/22 tax year are as follows: - 18% on the first R216,200 - 26% on the next R216,200 (from R216,201 to R432,400) - 31% on the next R646,400 (from R432,401 to R1,078,800) - 36% on the amount above R1,078,800 Let’s denote Mr. Malinga's taxable income as \( I \). The tax payable can be calculated using the following piecewise function: \[ \text{Tax} = \begin{cases} 0.18 \times I & \text{if } I \leq 216200 \\ 0.18 \times 216200 + 0.26 \times (I - 216200) & \text{if } 216200 < I \leq 432400 \\ 0.18 \times 216200 + 0.26 \times 216200 + 0.31 \times (I - 432400) & \text{if } 432400 < I \leq 1078800 \\ 0.18 \times 216200 + 0.26 \times 216200 + 0.31 \times 646400 + 0.36 \times (I - 1078800) & \text{if } I > 1078800 \end{cases} \] Now, let's calculate both parts. ### Step 1: Calculate Ms. Matinga's Medical Tax Credits We will solve for \( d \) in the equation: \[ (332 \times 2 + 224 \times (d - 2)) \times 12 = 13344 \] ### Step 2: Calculate Mr. Malinga's Tax We will need Mr. Malinga's taxable income \( I \) to proceed with the tax calculation. Please provide the number of dependents for Ms. Matinga and the taxable income for Mr. Malinga to continue with the calculations.
