Actual Tax Earnings - A Re-Assessment

Article Abstract:

Since April 1973, when the United Kingdom introduced the imputation tax system, investment analysts have had difficulty computing earnings per share. There has been considerable debate surrounding the issues. Now, due to increased United States activity in the United Kingdom stock market, more attention has been given to actual tax earnings. An example is used to illustrate difficulties of imputation, including an ongoing debate centering around nil versus net. The division of groups over a fifty-two per cent tax and actual tax reflects this debate on nil and net. Those attracted to nil support the blanket fifty-two per cent tax. Problems are compounded with inflation adjustments. Gainers and losers are discussed with tables listing the extremes of both groups.
