Description

A brief summary of the theory of taxation is followed by the taxation of employees, individuals with other sources of income such as dividends, sole proprietors and partnerships. Chapters 11 to 14 cover the taxation of companies, including recent legislation relating to the treatment of losses, minimum business tax and the employment tax credit scheme. These topics are followed by the taxation of institutions such as building societies and the taxation issues of specific entities such as agricultural and hotel businesses. Other topics are the rules governing the taxation of charities, tax incentives and the changes to the tax administration structure. Other taxing statutes such as GCT, property tax and stamp duty are briefly summarised in chapters 19 and 20. Each chapter concludes with review questions and the solutions to some of these are outlined in an appendix.
