Chapter One of The Impact of Taxation on Investment Decision of Limited Liability Companies
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (2006) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (2002) defined tax as an enforced contribution of money to government pursuant to a defined authorized legislation. In other words, every tax must be based on a valid statute tax can be imposed…TAXATION
To a great extent, taxes influence investment decision in the economy. Decision makers must cope with the complexity of existing tax system. They might be inclined to ignore complicated tax features and rely on statutory tax rates, Azubike (2009). Hence, they may make wrong decision with respect to taxes.
According to Devos (2010), a promising way to deal with the complexity of taxes that does not ignore the most important features of tax system beyond statutory tax rates is to use effective tax rates. Effective tax rates comprise the most important elements of a tax system. Such rates are useful for policy makers as well as for business managers, who demand condensed but sophisticated information on investment tax burdens, Devos (2010).
However, investment decision often concern inframarginal, profitable investments. For instance, a multinational corporation would expect to earn an economic rent when deciding the location of a new plant, Abiola & Moses (2012).
Therefore, the research focuses on technical and practical issues inherent in the measurement of effective tax burdens in Nigeria…TAXATION
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Measuring the effective tax burden for the effective of taxation on investment decision required a standard measure in order to separate the effects that stem from the statutory tax rate (and the interplay of personal and corporate taxes) and the effects that are attributable to the legal tax definition of the tax. In the case of a uniform proportional income tax, this standard measure is well known. The effective tax burden on a marginal investment is equal to the statutory tax rate on interest payment once the allowance for each period follow the change in the earnings capacity value. This result is valid only under several restrictive assumptions, the most important of which is the existence of a perfect capital market under certainty.
Therefore, the problem of improper measurement of effective tax burden on profitable investment, which is effective average tax burden needs to be addressed.
