CHAPTER 1 li




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




Review Questions
li




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


business decision making?
li li li




2. Most business decisions involve the evaluation of alternative courses of action. For
li li li li li li li li li li li


example, a marketing manager may be responsible for choosing a strategy for
li li li li li li li li li li li li


establishing sales in new geographical territories. Briefly explain how the tax factor can be an
li li li li il il il li il il il li li il li


integral part of this decision.
li li li li li




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


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




4. What is an “after-tax” approach to decision making?
li li li li li li li

Solutions to Review Questions li li li




R1-1 Once profit is determined, the Income Tax Act determines the amount of income tax that
l i li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


results. However, at all levels of management, alternative courses of action are evaluated.
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


In many cases, the choice of one alternative over the other may affect both the amount and the
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li il li li li


timing of future taxes on income generated from that activity. Therefore, the person
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


making those decisions has a direct input into future after-tax cash flow. Obviously,
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


decisions that reduce or postpone the payment of tax affect the ultimate return on
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


investment and, in turn, the value of the enterprise. Including the tax variable as a part of
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


the formal decision process will ultimately lead to improved after-tax cash flow.
li li li li li li li li li li li li




R1-2 Expansion can be achieved in new geographic areas through direct selling, or by
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


establishing a formal presence in the new territory with a branch office or a separate
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


corporation. The new territories may also cross provincial or international boundaries.
li li li li li li li li li li li


Provincial income tax rates vary amongst the provinces. The amount of income that is
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


subject to tax in the new province will be different for each of the three alternatives
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


mentioned above. For example, with direct selling, none of the income is taxed in the new
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


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


Because the tax cost is different in each case, taxation is a relevant part of the decision and
li il il li il il li li li il il li li li li li il il


must be included in any cost-benefit analysis that compares the three alternatives [Reg.
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


400-402.1].
li




R1-3 A basic understanding of the following variables will significantly strengthen a
l i li li li li li li li li li li


decision maker's ability to apply tax issues to their area of responsibility.
li li li li li li li li li li li li




Types of Income li li - Employment, Business, Property, Capital gains li li li li




li Taxable Entities li - Individuals, Corporations, Trusts li li




Alternative Business li - Corporation, Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited il li il


Structures li partnership, Joint arrangement, Income trust li li li li




Tax Jurisdictions li - Federal, Provincial, Foreign li li




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


divestitures, or debt and equity restructuring, will impact the amount and timing of the tax
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


cost. Therefore, cash flow exists only on an after tax basis, and, the tax impacts whether or
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


not the ultimate result of the decision is successful. An after-tax approach
li l i l i l i l i l i l i l i l i l i l i l i


to decision-making requires each decision-maker to think "after-tax" for every decision
l i l i li li li li li li li li li


at the time the decision is being made, and, to consider alternative courses of action to
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


minimize the tax cost, in the same way that decisions are made regarding other types of
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


costs. li




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


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

li li li li li li li li li li li li


avoidance rule will apply and eliminate the tax benefit.” Is this statement true? Explain.
