Hi All:
hoping that someone can help. I am a newbie at vba only started a week
ago. I wrote the following code but it gives me an incorrect result
ie tax payable for persons with income greater than $30,000 per year.
The problem seem to be in the case construction at the end of the
script but I can't seem to sole it.

Sub taxation5()
TotalIncome = InputBox("Please enter Total Salary for January 2005")
projectedsalary = TotalIncome * 12
MsgBox (" Your projected total income for 2005 will be " &
Format(projectedsalary, "$#,##0.00"))

Select Case projectedsalary

Case Is <= 30000
personalallowance = 30000
Case Is 35000
personalallowance = 25000
Case 30001 To 35000
personalallowance = 30000 - (TotalIncome - 30000)

End Select
MsgBox ("your personal allowance for 2005 will be " &
Format(personalallowance, "$#,##0.00"))

Td1deductions = InputBox("Please enter other TD1 deductions for 2005
excluding personal allowance")
chargeableincome = projectedsalary - personalallowance - Td1deductions
If chargeableincome < 0 Then
chargeableincome = 0
chargeableincome = MsgBox("Your chargeable income for the year will be
" & Format(chargeableincome, "$#,##0.00") _
& " and no tax payable ")

chargeableincome = MsgBox("Your chargeable income for the year will
be " & Format(chargeableincome, "$#,##0.00"))
Select Case chargeableincome

Case 30000 To 50000
taxation = chargeableincome * 0.25
Case Is 50000
taxation = 12500 + (chargeableincome - 50000) * 0.3
End Select

MsgBox (" Taxes of " & Format(taxation, "$#,##0.00") & " is tax
payable to the Board of Inland Revenue")
End If
End Sub

I'm a bit confused - is there really no tax for *chargeable* incomes
<30000, but if chargeable income is 50000, the portion <30000 is taxed??

This may get you started:

Option Explicit

Public Sub Taxation5a()
Dim cTotalIncome As Currency
Dim cProjectedSalary As Currency
Dim cPersonalAllowance As Currency
Dim cTD1Deductions As Currency
Dim cChargeableIncome As Currency
Dim cTaxation As Currency
cTotalIncome = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please enter total salary for January 2005", _
Title:="Enter Salary", _
Default:=0, _
Type:=1)
cProjectedSalary = cTotalIncome * 12#
MsgBox Prompt:="Your projected total income for 2005 is " & _
Format(cProjectedSalary, "$#,##0.00")
cPersonalAllowance = 25000 + Application.Min( _
Application.Max(0, (35000 - cProjectedSalary)), 5000)
MsgBox Prompt:="Your personal allowance for 2005 will be " & _
Format(cPersonalAllowance, "$#,##0.00")
cTD1Deductions = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please enter other TD1 deductions for " & _
"2005 excluding personal allowance", _
Title:="Enter TD1 Deductions", _
Default:=0, _
Type:=1)
cChargeableIncome = Application.Max(0, _
cProjectedSalary - cPersonalAllowance - cTD1Deductions)
cTaxation = cChargeableIncome * 0.25 + _
0.05 * Application.Max(0, cChargeableIncome - 50000)
MsgBox Prompt:="Your chargeable income for the year will be " & _
Format(cChargeableIncome, "$#,##0.00") & _
IIf(cChargeableIncome 0, "." & vbNewLine & "Taxes of " & _
Format(cTaxation, "$#,##0.00") & _
" are payable to the Board of Inland Revenue", _
", and no tax payable")
End Sub
