Corporation Tax, Finance and the Cost of Capital
研究公司税负耗尽如何影响企业的融资和投资决策，通过动态规划模型计算有效边际税率，发现内部最优财务结构无需外部约束，且资本成本对企业当前应税利润高度敏感。
This paper examines the influence of corporate tax exhaustion on the firm's financial and investment decisions. A dynamic programming model is used to establish effective marginal tax rates in the presence of a tax system that permits the carry forward of losses to future periods. The paper demonstrates that internal optimal financial structures may result which do not require the imposition of external constraints. The cost of capital is highly sensitive to the current taxable earnings of the firm and the implications of this for such tax transfer activities as leasing are discussed.
