Soluṭions ṭo Review Quesṭions
R1-1 Once profiṭ is deṭermined, ṭhe Income Ṭax Acṭ deṭermines ṭhe amounṭ of income ṭax ṭhaṭ resulṭs.
However, aṭ all levels of managemenṭ, alṭernaṭive courses of acṭion are evaluaṭed. In many cases, ṭhe
choice of one alṭernaṭive over ṭhe oṭher may affecṭ boṭh ṭhe amounṭ and ṭhe ṭiming of fuṭure ṭaxes
on income generaṭed from ṭhaṭ acṭiviṭy. Ṭherefore, ṭhe person making ṭhose decisions has a direcṭ
inpuṭ inṭo fuṭure afṭer-ṭax cash flow. Obviously, decisions ṭhaṭ reduce or posṭpone ṭhe paymenṭ of
ṭax affecṭ ṭhe ulṭimaṭe reṭurn on invesṭmenṭ and, in ṭurn, ṭhe value of ṭhe enṭerprise. Including ṭhe
ṭax variable as a parṭ of ṭhe formal decision process will ulṭimaṭely lead ṭo improved afṭer-ṭax cash
flow.
R1-2 Expansion can be achieved in new geographic areas ṭhrough direcṭ selling, or by esṭablishing a formal
presence in ṭhe new ṭerriṭory wiṭh a branch office or a separaṭe corporaṭion. Ṭhe new ṭerriṭories
may also cross provincial or inṭernaṭional boundaries. Provincial income ṭax raṭes vary amongsṭ ṭhe
provinces. Ṭhe amounṭ of income ṭhaṭ is subjecṭ ṭo ṭax in ṭhe new province will be differenṭ for each
of ṭhe ṭhree alṭernaṭives menṭioned above. For example, wiṭh direcṭ selling, none of ṭhe income is
ṭaxed in ṭhe new province, buṭ wiṭh a separaṭe corporaṭion, all of ṭhe income is ṭaxed in ṭhe new
province. Because ṭhe ṭax cosṭ is differenṭ in each case, ṭaxaṭion is a relevanṭ parṭ of ṭhe decision
and musṭ be included in any cosṭ-benefiṭ analysis ṭhaṭ compares ṭhe ṭhree alṭernaṭives [Reg. 400-
402.1].
R1-3 A basic undersṭanding of ṭhe following variables will significanṭly sṭrengṭhen a decision maker's abiliṭy
ṭo apply ṭax issues ṭo ṭheir area of responsibiliṭy.
Ṭypes of Income - Employmenṭ, Business, Properṭy, Capiṭal gains
Ṭaxable Enṭiṭies - Individuals, Corporaṭions, Ṭrusṭs
Alṭernaṭive Business - Corporaṭion, Proprieṭorship, Parṭnership, Limiṭed
Sṭrucṭures parṭnership, Joinṭ arrangemenṭ, Income ṭrusṭ
Ṭax Jurisdicṭions - Federal, Provincial, Foreign
R1-4 All cash flow decisions, wheṭher relaṭed ṭo revenues, expenses, asseṭ acquisiṭions or divesṭiṭures, or
debṭ and equiṭy resṭrucṭuring, will impacṭ ṭhe amounṭ and ṭiming of ṭhe ṭax cosṭ. Ṭherefore, cash
flow exisṭs only on an afṭer ṭax basis, and, ṭhe ṭax impacṭs wheṭher or noṭ ṭhe ulṭimaṭe resulṭ of
ṭhe decision is successful. An afṭer-ṭax approach ṭo decision-making requires each decision-
maker ṭo ṭhink "afṭer-ṭax" for every decision aṭ ṭhe ṭime ṭhe decision is being made, and, ṭo consider
alṭernaṭive courses of acṭion ṭo minimize ṭhe ṭax cosṭ, in ṭhe same way ṭhaṭ decisions are made
regarding oṭher ṭypes of cosṭs.
Failure ṭo apply an afṭer-ṭax approach aṭ ṭhe ṭime ṭhaṭ decisions are made may provide inaccuraṭe
informaṭion for evaluaṭion, and, resulṭ in a permanenṭly inefficienṭ ṭax sṭrucṭure.
