At the end of the year, Mr Yellow’s residual income tax is $20,000.

He is not subject to GST.


Instalments in transitional year: 28th day of 5th, 9th, and 13th months after balance date, and ﬁnal instalment on 28th day of month following ﬁnal month in transitional year (s MB 20(2) and schedule 13, part B).

But ﬁrst business day falls within 30 days of the date that would be the ﬁrst instalment, 28 August (s MB 20(4)(a)), so no instalment is due.

Amounts payable on the instalment dates are calculated under s MB 22.
“First instalment due 20 January: $15,000 × 4/14 = $4,285 “Second instalment due 28 April: $15,000 × 8/14 − $4,285 = $4,286 “Final instalment due 28 June: $15,000 − $8,571 = $6,429 Three interest start dates apply: 21 January, 29 April, and 29 June (s 120KD(2)).
“First instalment 20 January on RIT: $20,000 × 4/14 = $5,714 interest payable from 21 January on: ($5,714 − $4,285) = $1,429 “Second instalment 28 April on RIT: $20,000 × 4/14 = $5,714 interest payable from 29 April on: ($5,714 − $4,286) = $1,428 “Final instalment 28 June on RIT: $20,000 − ($5,714 + $5,714) = $8,572 interest payable from 29 June on RIT: ($8,572 − $6,429) = $2,143 “• “• “• “120KD Provisional tax instalments in transitional years “(1) For a transitional year to which schedule 13, part B of the In­ come Tax Act 2004 applies, the residual income tax of a provi­ sional taxpayer, other than a person to whom section 120KE(1) 215 Part 2 s 243 Taxation (Depreciation, Payment Dates Alignment, FBT, and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006 2006 No 3 applies, is due and payable as determined under sections MB 20 to MB 23 of the Income Tax Act 2004.
“(2) A provisional taxpayer in a transitional year is liable for use of money interest for unpaid tax in relation to the instalments of provisional tax payable in the months set out in schedule 13, part B of the Income Tax Act 2004.

The date interest starts is the day after the 28th day of the month on which an instalment is payable.
“(3) For the purposes of calculating the amount of interest due in relation to an instalment of provisional tax other than a ﬁnal instalment, the amount of residual income tax payable on the instalment date is calculated using the formula “(4) In the formula, the instalment period is either “(a) 4, for provisional taxpayers who pay on the equivalent of instalment dates B, D, and F; or “(b) 6, for provisional taxpayers who pay on the equivalent of instalment dates C and F. “(5) For the purposes of calculating the amount of interest due in relation to a ﬁnal instalment of provisional tax, the amount of residual income tax payable is the residual income tax for the tax year minus any amount treated as due on an instalment date referred to in subsection (3).

He makes payments in June and August.

On 10 September 2007, Dr Beige decides to change his determination method.
He must then estimate his residual income tax for the income year (s MB 17(5) Income Tax Act 2004), and pay 2 instalments under the estimation method on instalment dates D and F (s MB 6(5) of that Act).

Dr Beige provides a return for the income year that shows residual income tax of $30,000.
