Taxes and Taxation

This book presents a novel analytical framework for examining the role of taxation in corporate finance, grounded in the BrusovFilatovaOrekhova (BFO) theory and its perpetuity limitthe ModiglianiMiller (MM) theory. The authors investigate the influence of taxation on key financial indicators and investment project performance, incorporating the practical realities of corporate operations, such as the timing and frequency of tax payments and income variability.

The book formulates evidence-based recommendations for regulatory bodies concerning the structure, timing, and differentiation of profit tax payments, particularly in relation to corporate debt levels and other financial characteristics. It also provides strategic guidance for firms in selecting optimal tax payment methodologies.

Furthermore, the authors explore the implications of tax burden on dividend policy and identify a range of innovative effects with the potential to inform both regulatory tax policy and managerial decision-making. This work contributes to the advancement of financial theory by integrating taxation into dynamic investment and capital structure models under realistic economic conditions.

Bridges theory and practice with the application of models to real-world tax and investment scenarios Illustrates how taxes shape investment efficiency and corporate finance Offers strategic tax recommendations for companies and regulators
