This text is appropriate for one- or two-term courses covering personal and corporate taxation. Written in an accessible style, this text assumes that the student has no previous education in taxation. Byrd & Chen's Canadian Tax Principles can be used with or without other source materials (this includes the Income Tax Act, Information Circulars, Interpretation Bulletins, and other official materials). The Income Tax Act is referenced in the text where appropriate for further independent study. Students should be able to solve all of the end-of-chapter problems by relying solely on the text as a reference. The text and problem materials are comprehensive of the syllabus requirements of the CGAs, CAs, and CMAs.

Clear, concise, and engaging, Fundamentals of Corporate Taxation teaches the fundamentals of a highly complex subject with skillfully drafted problems, explanatory text, and a selective mix of original source materials. The coursebook incorporates all relevant changes from recent acts, including the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Important new highlights include discussions on the impact of reduced tax rates on qualified dividends, new rules limiting the transfer or importation of built-in-losses, and the response by courts and the Internal Revenue Service to corporate tax shelters. The sixth edition also contains new material on corporate reorganizations and S corporations, rulings on Section 351 control requirements and corporate divisions, and more permissive eligibility requirements and other new statutory rules.

The book describes the difficulties of the current international corporate income tax system. It starts by describing its origins and how changes, such as the development of multinational enterprises and digitalization have created fundamental problems, not foreseen at its inception. These include tax competition—as governments try to attract tax bases through low tax rates or incentives, and profit shifting, as companies avoid tax by reporting profits in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. The book then discusses solutions, including both evolutionary changes to the current system and fundamental reform options. It covers both reform efforts already under way, for example under the Inclusive Framework at the OECD, and potential radical reform ideas developed by academics.

This book is a comprehensive, up-to-date treatise on income tax law in Canada. The book introduces students and practitioners to income tax law in its broadest dimensions. It addresses the subject matter based on principles, policy, and practice. The objective is to explain what the law is, why it is the way it is, and how it works (or does not).

"There is increasing interest in, and recognition of, the need for both tax reduction and tax reform in Canada. This book provides the rationale for tax reform and a road map for that reform. The book includes 5 chapters from leading experts in the field and provides a persuasive, compelling case for tax reform in Canada." "The Impact of Taxes on Economic Behavior by Milagros Palacios and Kumi Harischandra offers a broad overview of the incentive effects associated with taxes that affect our decisions to work more, to save, to invest, and to engage in entrepreneurial activity." "Compliance and Administrative Costs of Taxation in Canada by renowned University of Montreal economics professor Francois Vaillancourt and Jason Clemens provides readers with an understanding of the vast costs associated with administering, and complying with, our current tax system."--BOOK JACKET.
