Source: Australian Tax Forum Journal Article

Published Date: 1 Jul 2005

 
During the past decade calls to converge the measurement of companies’ taxable income and accounting profit have occurred. Issuing Australian accounting standards equivalent to international financial reporting standards alters the existing taxable income and accounting profit connect.

In doing so, the paper highlights the complexities, definitional and valuation divergences in Australia’s taxation and financial accounting systems in relation to employee option grants.
