TASK 2 - Communication exercise – Tax deducted from my wages

In Question 40 of Task 1 you were asked to calculate the PAYG withholding to be deducted from  Aaron’s weekly wages. This calculation takes into account many factors including Aaron’s personal circumstances and the nature of the payments he has received. In this task you are required to create a video recording of a role play of yourself providing an explanation to ”Aaron” (played by a friend or relative) of how the PAYG withholding amount is calculated. A smart phone can be used to make the recording (with audio).

Your video recording should 2 to 3 minutes in length and include the following:
