Taxes and Business Strategy

Overview & Synopsis

Traditional finance and other business courses notes analyze a
broad spectrum of factors affecting business decision-making but typically give
little systematic consideration to the role of taxes. In contrast, traditional
tax accounting course note concentrate on administrative issues while ignoring
the richness of the context in which tax factors operate. The objective of this
note is to bridge this gap by providing a framework for recognizing tax planning
opportunities and applying basic principles of tax strategy.
