TAXATION― ITS ROLE IN BUSINESS DECISION MAKING T T T T T T




Review Questions T




1. If income tax is imposed after profits have been determined, why is taxation relevant to business
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




decision making?
T T




2. Most business decisions involve the evaluation of alternative courses of action. For example, a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T




marketing manager may be responsible for choosing a strategy for establishing sales in new
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




geographical territories. Briefly explain how the tax factor can be an integral part of this decision.
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




3. What are the fundamental variables of the income tax system that decision-makers should be familiar
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




with so that they can apply tax issues to their areas of responsibility?
T T T T T T T T T T T T T




4. What is an ―after-tax‖ approach to decision making?
T T T T T T T




Solutions to Review Questions
T T T




R1-1 Once profit is determined, the Income Tax Act determines the amount of income tax that results.
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




However, at all levels of management, alternative courses of action are evaluated. In many cases, the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




choice of one alternative over the other may affect both the amount and the timing of future taxes on
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




income generated from that activity. Therefore, the person making those decisions has a direct input
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




into future after-tax cash flow. Obviously, decisions that reduce or postpone the payment of tax
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




affect the ultimate return on investment and, in turn, the value of the enterprise. Including the tax
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




variable as a part of the formal decision process will ultimately lead to improved after-tax cash flow.
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




R1-2 Expansion can be achieved in new geographic areas through direct selling, or by establishing a formal
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




presence in the new territory with a branch office or a separate corporation. The new territories may
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




also cross provincial or international boundaries. Provincial income tax rates vary amongst the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T




provinces. The amount of income that is subject to tax in the new province will be different for each of
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




the three alternatives mentioned above. For example, with direct selling, none of the income is taxed
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




in the new province, but with a separate corporation, all of the income is taxed in the new province.
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




Because the tax cost is different in each case, taxation is a relevant part of the decision and must be
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




included in any cost-benefit analysis that compares the three alternatives [Reg. 400-402.1].
T T T T T T T T T T T T




R1-3 A basic understanding of the following variables will significantly strengthen a decision maker's ability
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




to apply tax issues to their area of responsibility.

, R1-4 All cash flow decisions, whether related to revenues, expenses, asset acquisitions or divestitures, or debt
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




and equity restructuring, will impact the amount and timing of the tax cost. Therefore, cash flow
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




exists only on an after tax basis, and, the tax impacts whether or not the ultimate result of the
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




decision is successful. An after-tax approach to decision-making requires each decision-maker to
T T T T T T T T T T T T




think "after-tax" for every decision at the time the decision is being made, and, to consider alternative
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




courses of action to minimize the tax cost, in the same way that decisions are made regarding other
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




types of costs.
T T T




Failure to apply an after-tax approach at the time that decisions are made may provideinaccurate
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




information for evaluation, and, result in a permanently inefficient tax structure.

T T T T T T T T T T T T T T




apply and eliminate the tax benefit.‖ Is this statement true? Explain.
