Profit taxation (taxation of earnings)

The basis of assessment for the taxes payable by a company is the profit generated. This puts equity financing at a disadvantage if the borrowing costs incurred can be claimed as expenses for tax purposes. – See debt relief, financing costs, borrowed funds, zero distribution, loss compensation, tax. – Cf. Deutsche Bundesbank Monthly Report, January 2012, p. 15 (on the financing neutrality of corporate taxation; references):
