- **Individual activity computation steps** — Step 1: Gross revenue from activity Step 2: − Documented expenses (or use 30% flat deduction) Step 3: = Profit Step 4: − VSD (15.52% on 90% of profit) Step 5: − PSD (6.98% on 90% of profit) Step 6: = Taxable income Step 7: Apply 15% GPM Step 8: = Tax due

## Section 7 — Worked example

**Worked example table**

| Step | Monthly | Annual |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Gross salary | 3,000 | 36,000 |
| − Sodra employee (15.7%) | (471) | (5,652) |
| Taxable before NPD | 2,529 | 30,348 |
| − NPD | 0 (income > €2,167) | 0 |
| GPM base | 2,529 | 30,348 |
| GPM at 20% | (505.80) | (6,069.60) |
| **Net salary** | **2,023.20** | **24,278.40** |
