sarath | Pretax income and income tax expense used for financial reporting on Income statement... Taxable income , Taxes Payable , Income tax paid used for actual Income tax reporting. |
wundac | Income tax expenses/pretax income=tax rate |
alexsar75 | wouldn't the effective tax rate be the actual tax that was paid? |
dbedford | Effective tax rate for you and I is what we paid in taxes. Effective tax rate for a corporation is Tax Expense / pre tax income |
