Tax Accounting


Book Description

If you're a business owner wanting to learn more about taxes without going through boring textbooks, then keep reading... Benjamin Franklin once said that "in life, only two things are certain: death and taxes." He wasn't exaggerating about the latter. And because you must deal with taxes for as long as you live and earn money, you must get it right every time. Unlike any other infractions or violations, tax-related offenses have major repercussions. At a minimum, you will pay fines and expenses. But if your tax violations are serious, you may end up in jail. Think about this: the infamous mafia gangster boss Al Capone was indicted and sent to prison not because of his violent crimes, but because of tax violations. Hence, you must take your taxes very seriously. So, what does it take to manage your taxes successfully and avoid the massive inconveniences associated with being flagged by the Internal Revenue Service for tax violations? There are so many answers to this question, but they can be summed up in one term: tax accounting. And that is what this book is all about. Written with non-accountant entrepreneurs in mind, this book can help you learn important tax accounting principles for ensuring optimal tax management in your business. These include: What tax accounting is. Important tax accounting guidelines. The difference between accounting and bookkeeping. How to claim tax deductions legally. How to choose the right business entity. How to manage payroll tax. Discover if you need an S corporation or a C corporation. And much, much more! By the time you're finished with this book, you'll be armed with sufficient knowledge to ensure proper management of your businesses' income taxes. And while you can never avoid taxes, what you'll learn here can make you and the IRS the best of friends.

Tax Accounting in Germany


Book Description

Book-tax conformity is an old issue in Germany. For decades, the determination of taxable income is characterized by the authoritative principle governing the traditionally close relationship between financial and tax accounting. However, book-tax differences have been growing throughout the last decades. In particular, the German Accounting Law Modernization Act (BilMoG) is seen to set a new cornerstone in the development towards an increasing divergence between financial and tax accounting. Despite the unanimous agreement of growing book-tax differences, little is so far known about the actual relationship between financial and tax accounting in Germany. In contrast to international research that has developed a variety of approaches to measure the reporting gap and investigated the information content of book-tax differences for corporate reporting behavior, empirical research on book-tax differences and their implications is rare in Germany. Based on two unique data samples the author aims to close this gap in research and, for the first time, provide empirically valid estimates of the sources and magnitude of book-tax differences in Germany. In doing so, the author also calls the information content of tax-related disclosure requirements under German GAAP into question and develops reform options that do not only take the German perspective into account, but also consider the ongoing discussion on a Common (Consolidated) Corporate Tax Base for Europe.
