    In standard NPV appraisal questions, Cashflow Timings of both Taxation & Tax-savings on Capital Allowance will be the same.

    If Tax is not in arrears (i.e. paid immediately) then Tax & Tax-savings on Capital Allowance will be [Time 1]

    If Tax is in arrears (i.e. one year later) then Tax & Tax-savings on Capital Allowance will be [Time 2]

    This is what you said in your lecture that the Timing of Tax-savings on CA depends upon Tax timings.

    Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

    Thanks for your time I do appreciate your work 🙂

    I asked this question from the perspective of the usual NPV questions, not from Lease & Buy point of view.

    Is it true that Net Operating Cash Flows & Machine is bought usually on the first day of an accounting period and tax is calculated at the year-end.

    For Example:
    If Net Operating Cash Flows occur on the first day (1.1.2017) then tax is calculated at the year-end (31.12.2017) but the tax is paid on Time 1 (1.1.2018) because one day doesn’t make any difference; And if tax is in arrears then it is paid one year later at Time 2 (31.12.2018).

    BUT if Net Operating Cash Flows occur at the last day (31.12.2017) then tax is calculated immediately at this very last day (31.12.2017) but the tax is paid on Time 0 (31.12.2017); And if tax is in arrears then it is paid one-year later at Time 1 (31.12.2018).

    Please correct my first sentence and the two examples that I ask you!

    What you have written is correct (except for the fact that the tax rules are no different at all in lease and buy questions than in any other questions – it is just that the timings of the initial flows are often different than usual).
