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)
SIR may i know how the relisable value is taken
it says that the after tax realisable value is 250-300 then how to know which one to take because examiner took 250
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).
