}Limitations and assumptions
The income-after-tax result can be negative. Tax categories are supplied totals; no return, deduction, overlapping base or household incidence is modeled.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
