How much would a person earning 30,001 pay in taxes if we use this table
--------------------------
First #8358;30,000 5%
Next #8358;30,000 10%
Next #8358;50,000 15%
Next #8358;50,000 20%
Over #8358;160,000 25%
No tax is payable on annual income of N30,000 or less
-------------------------------------------------------
For me this table seems confusing.
But this is what is written in official documents of the country.
What do they mean by " First"?
Please help,

Would you tell to which country this table relates?
As far as I understand it means
If you see the last entry it says, over 160,000. And if you calculate the total of earlier slabs (30k + 30k+ 50k+ 50k), it also amounts to 160,000
So it says that first 30,000 units of a person's earning shall be taxed at the rate of 5%
if the income exceeds 30,000 the exceeding portion will be taxed at 10%
if the income exceeds 60,000, the exceeding portion shall be taxed at 15%............. and so on
further illustration is
if a person has a taxable income of 200,000, we will break it as follows
30,000 + 30,000 + 50,000 + 50,000 + 40,000
For first 30,000 @ 5% = 1500
For next 30,000 @ 10% = 3000
for next 50,000 @ 15% = 7500
for next 50,000 @ 20% = 10,000
for next 40,000 @ 25% = 10,000
Total tax payable is
1500 + 3000 + 7500 + 10000 + 10,000 =
