Standard Uplift Method – meaning and definition

Under the standard uplift method, you generally base your provisional tax payments on a 105 percent uplift of last year’s income tax liability. If you expect to make more or roughly the same amount of money this coming year, look no further. This method will suit you.

Susanna Lee, our Senior Commercial Analyst, summarises the standard uplift method.
