    Sir,

    In that question there is a statement written that:

    “ATC makes sufficient profits from its other activities to take advantage of any tax loss relief available from this project.”

    Sir : did this statement means that we do not have to carry forward tax losses to the years till
    the profit arises.

    Second statement written:

    “Any annual increase in working capital after the first year will be financed by internally generated funds.”

    Sir : does this mean that initial working capital shown in column year zero and rest shown in a row under operating cash flows and then allow them to tax deduct
    OR

    should I show all the WC flows after taxation and after investment flows.

    Sir I am little confuse in it as i have seen in one of a past paper it has done initial working capital shown in column year zero and rest shown in a row under operating cash flows and then allow them to tax deduct.

    Kindly clarify

    First question:

    Yes – there will not be any tax losses (a ‘loss’ from this project simply reduces the overall profits of the business as a whole and therefore save tax that would otherwise be payables

    Second question:

    Two things: working capital never has any tax effect. Secondly it is usually required at the start of each year – therefore the amount need for the first year will be required at time 0 (the first year starts now – time 0)

    It is better always to take the worst outcome (then things can only be better) rather than take the best outcome (when things could end up being worse).
