REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. IF INCOME TAX IS IMPOSED AFTER PROFITS HAVE BEEN DETERMINED, WHY IS
TAXATION RELEVANT TO BUSINESS DECISION MAKING?
2. MOST BUSINESS DECISIONS INVOLVE THE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF
ACTION. FOR EXAMPLE, A MARKETING MANAGER MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
CHOOSING A STRATEGY FOR ESTABLISHING SALES IN NEW GEOGRAPHICAL
TERRITORIES. BRIEFLY EXPLAIN HOW THE TAX FACTOR CAN BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF
THIS DECISION.
3. WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL VARIABLES OF THE INCOME TAX SYSTEM THAT
DECISION-MAKERS SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH SO THAT THEY CAN APPLY TAX ISSUES
TO THEIR AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY?
4. WHAT IS AN “AFTER-TAX” APPROACH TO DECISION MAKING?

, SOLUTIONS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS
R1-1 ONCE PROFIT IS DETERMINED, THE INCOME TAX ACT DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF
INCOME TAX THAT RESULTS. HOWEVER, AT ALL LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT,
ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION ARE EVALUATED. IN MANY CASES, THE CHOICE OF
ONE ALTERNATIVE OVER THE OTHER MAY AFFECT BOTH THE AMOUNT AND THE TIMING
OF FUTURE TAXES ON INCOME GENERATED FROM THAT ACTIVITY. THEREFORE, THE
PERSON MAKING THOSE DECISIONS HAS A DIRECT INPUT INTO FUTURE AFTER-TAX
CASH FLOW. OBVIOUSLY, DECISIONS THAT REDUCE OR POSTPONE THE PAYMENT OF
TAX AFFECT THE ULTIMATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND, IN TURN, THE VALUE OF THE
ENTERPRISE. INCLUDING THE TAX VARIABLE AS A PART OF THE FORMAL DECISION
PROCESS WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO IMPROVED AFTER-TAX CASH FLOW.
R1-2 EXPANSION CAN BE ACHIEVED IN NEW GEOGRAPHIC AREAS THROUGH DIRECT SELLING,
OR BY ESTABLISHING A FORMAL PRESENCE IN THE NEW TERRITORY WITH A BRANCH
OFFICE OR A SEPARATE CORPORATION. THE NEW TERRITORIES MAY ALSO CROSS
PROVINCIAL OR INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES. PROVINCIAL INCOME TAX RATES VARY
AMONGST THE PROVINCES. THE AMOUNT OF INCOME THAT IS SUBJECT TO TAX IN THE
NEW PROVINCE WILL BE DIFFERENT FOR EACH OF THE THREE ALTERNATIVES
MENTIONED ABOVE. FOR EXAMPLE, WITH DIRECT SELLING, NONE OF THE INCOME IS
TAXED IN THE NEW PROVINCE, BUT WITH A SEPARATE CORPORATION, ALL OF THE
INCOME IS TAXED IN THE NEW PROVINCE. BECAUSE THE TAX COST IS DIFFERENT IN
EACH CASE, TAXATION IS A RELEVANT PART OF THE DECISION AND MUST BE INCLUDED
IN ANY COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS THAT COMPARES THE THREE ALTERNATIVES [REG.
400-402.1].
R1-3 A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY
STRENGTHEN A DECISION MAKER'S ABILITY TO APPLY TAX ISSUES TO THEIR AREA OF
RESPONSIBILITY.
TYPES OF INCOME - EMPLOYMENT, BUSINESS, PROPERTY,
CAPITAL GAINS TAXABLE ENTITIES - INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS,
TRUSTS
ALTERNATIVE BUSINESS - CORPORATION, PROPRIETORSHIP,
PARTNERSHIP, LIMITED STRUCTURES PARTNERSHIP, JOINT
ARRANGEMENT, INCOME TRUST
TAX JURISDICTIONS - FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, FOREIGN
R1-4 ALL CASH FLOW DECISIONS, WHETHER RELATED TO REVENUES, EXPENSES, ASSET
ACQUISITIONS OR DIVESTITURES, OR DEBT AND EQUITY RESTRUCTURING, WILL IMPACT
THE AMOUNT AND TIMING OF THE TAX COST. THEREFORE, CASH FLOW EXISTS ONLY ON
AN AFTER TAX BASIS, AND, THE TAX IMPACTS WHETHER OR NOT THE ULTIMATE
RESULT OF THE DECISION IS SUCCESSFUL. AN AFTER-TAX APPROACH TO
DECISION-MAKING REQUIRES EACH DECISION-MAKER TO THINK "AFTER-TAX" FOR
EVERY DECISION AT THE TIME THE DECISION IS BEING MADE, AND, TO CONSIDER
ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION TO MINIMIZE THE TAX COST, IN THE SAME WAY
THAT DECISIONS ARE MADE REGARDING OTHER TYPES OF COSTS.
FAILURE TO APPLY AN AFTER-TAX APPROACH AT THE TIME THAT DECISIONS ARE
MADE MAY PROVIDE INACCURATE INFORMATION FOR EVALUATION, AND, RESULT IN A
PERMANENTLY INEFFICIENT TAX STRUCTURE.
