1

Income Tax

  • Income tax is a tax that is levied on the income of individuals and businesses. In most countries, income tax is a progressive tax, which means that the tax rate increases as income increases. Income tax is typically calculated based on the amount earned during a particular period, such as a year. The government usually collects it through withholding from paychecks or other means. In accounting, income tax is a significant expense that must be considered when preparing financial statements and making business decisions.

2

GST

GST is short for Goods and Services Tax, a type of consumption tax levied on the supply of goods and services. GST is a value-added tax applied to the value added to a product or service at each stage of its production or distribution. In most countries, GST is collected by the government and is typically included in the price of goods and services. In accounting, GST is a significant expense that must be considered when preparing financial statements and making business decisions.

3

Bills of Exchange

A bill of exchange is a written document that specifies the terms of a transaction involving the exchange of money. It typically includes the date, the names of the parties involved, the amount of money being exchanged, and the date on which the money is due to be paid. A bill of exchange is often used in international trade as a means of payment and can be transferred from one party to another. In accounting, bills of exchange are recorded as liabilities until they are paid.

4

Business Finance

Business finance studies how businesses manage their financial resources to achieve their goals. It involves the analysis of financial statements and other financial information to assess a company’s financial health and make decisions about how to allocate its financial resources. Business finance also includes the development of strategies for raising capital, such as through loans or investments, and managing the risks associated with economic activities. In accounting, business finance is a crucial area of focus, as it involves the management of a business’s financial resources to achieve its goals.

5

Cash Flow

Cash flow is the movement of money into and out of business. It is the net amount of cash generated or used by a company over a particular period, such as a month or a year. A positive cash flow indicates that a business generates more cash than it uses. In contrast, a negative cash flow means that a company uses more money than it generates. In accounting, cash flow is a crucial measure of a business’s financial health and is closely monitored by managers and investors.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
