Step 1 Determine the amount of the individual’s income for the tax year that is liable at each relevant rate. Step 2 Attribute the amount or amounts determined at Step 1 to the deficiency, so far as possible. Step 3 Calculate the amount of the individual’s preliminary income tax liability for the tax year (see subsection (6)). Step 4 Calculate the amount of the individual’s preliminary income tax liability for the tax year again, on the assumption that each amount determined under Step 1, so far as attributed to the deficiency at Step 2, is liable at the appropriate lower rate.
