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 decisionmaking requires each decision-maker to think “after-tax” for every decision at thetime 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.
