| johntan1979 | How does this differ from interperiod tax allocation? |
| Seancfa1 | Intra is inside/within the same entity - eg: intranet or intra-comany transfer. Inter is between/among - eg: internet, international, interpreter (someone who translates BETWEEN languages). |
| Seancfa1 | Therefore, intra in this sense applies to within 1 period. Inter applies between periods (multiple periods). |
