Abstract: | The issue of discounting deferred tax liabilities has generated recurrent interest in the literature. The debate has centred on whether the tax liabilities should be discounted at the pre-tax or post-tax rate. The argument has often focused on specific examples and/or qualitative discussion. With the aim of bringing closure to this debate, an explicit general proof is presented, based on first principles, that discounting at the after-tax rate is correct. |
