Abstract: | A decade of discussion regarding deferred tax liabilities has been narrowed to the question of whether pre- or post-tax discount rates should be employed. A recent article has once again presented the case for pre-tax rates. This note raises problems with that argument and presents an alternative case for the use of post-tax rates of discount. |
