FA-62580 / Tax bracket computation / Member archive
Marginal relief is measured from the lower limit instead of the upper limit · case 05
Relief grows as profits rise, so companies near the upper limit pay less than at the lower limit.
Case contract
solve(profits, dividends, associates, days): stipulated small-profits relief. Limits L = 50000 and U = 250000 are divided by (associates + 1) and prorated by days/365 (exact fractions). Augmented profits A = profits + dividends decide the band: A <= L taxes profits N at 19%; A >= U at 25%; otherwise tax = 25% of N minus 3/200 * (U - A) * N / A. Return integer cents rounded half-up.
Why this case matters
Tax computations hinge on which slice, threshold, ordering and rounding rule applies at each step; a misplaced boundary silently misstates liabilities.
