Consolidation anxiety
Article Abstract:
The new tax consolidation system allows consolidation of accounts in all the subsidiaries within a group for income tax purposes in order to simplify corporate tax arrangements. One of the unappealing aspects of the scheme is that it is irrevocable and once a group elects to consolidate, it must continue to do so and must stick to the form even if it later finds it to be disadvantageous and that consolidation of losses may result in claims being stretched out over several years.
