Answer:

The answer is "$ 25,207.45".

Explanation:

Type = single property ownership  

Year= 2020  

Revenue = $ 300,000  

calculating the tax on social security when it's up to 132,900 USD, i.e. the basis cap on earned earnings.  

[tex]\to 132,900 \times 12.40 \% \\\\\to 132,900 \times 0.1240 \\\\\to \$ \ 16,479.6\ \ \ \ or \ \ \ \ \$ \ 16,480\\\\[/tex]

Calculating the Medicare levy, subject to a deduction of 7.65% from sole ownership, for every revenue received without any cap.  

[tex]\to (300,000 \times 0.9235) \times 2.9 \% \\\\ \to 277,050 \times 0.029 \\\\\to \$ \ 8034.45 \\[/tex]

Where income exceeds 200,000, and 0.9% of exceeding income exceeds additional medicare tax.

[tex]\to [(300,000 \times 0.9235) - 200,000] \times 0.9 \% \\\\\to [(277,050) - 200,000] \times 0.009 \\\\\to 277,050\times 0.009 \\\\\to 693.45[/tex]

Medicare tax and social insurance total:

[tex]\to 16,480 + 8,034 + 693.45 \\\\\to 25,207.45[/tex]
