P and S waves in Earth's mantle and core [edit]. When an earthquake occurs, seismographs near the epicenter are able to record both P and S waves, but those at a greater distance no longer detect the high frequencies of the first S wave.
Best Answer: CONUS COLA is a taxable allowance. There is an additional amount calculated into the figure to compensate for the additional tax burden. OCONUS COLA is non-taxable.
The taxable amount equals the total gross income less the total deductions. This is the total amount subject to tax. Because each tax type (i.e. B&O, public utility, retail sales tax, etc.) has its own tax rate and taxable amount, there is not a single tax rate you can use to derive the total tax due.
