If I suffered a business loss of $100,000 but received a salary income of $400,000 from separate employment, can I pay less tax under a Personal Assessment?
The profit of my sole-proprietorship business was assessed at $360,000. My wife received a monthly rent of $10,000 from a property under mortgage. She paid mortgage interest of $56,000 during the year. How is a Personal Assessment applied to a married couple?
For the year of assessment 2006/07, Mr and Mrs Leung have a daughter and the couple agreed and nominated Mr Leung to claim the child allowance.

Continued from Example 5, what if for the year of assessment 2006/07, the monthly salaries of Mr and Mrs Leung were $35,000 and $20,000 instead? Would a joint assessment still be advantageous to the couple if Mr. Leung claimed the child allowance?
