    Accounting profit in spainish legislation
    2019-05 - Aldeia, Susana
    The main goal of this paper is to study the accounting profit in the spanish jurisdiction. For this purpose the accounting profit and its integration in accounting and tax legislation of Spain were analized. In accounting terms the study focus on the Comerce Code and Accounting law. On the one hand, the assumption of accounting profit in corporate income tax law and the significance of its economic periodization were investigated. The results show that the spanish Comerce Code recognizes a relevent role to accounting profit. It also recognizes that it is very important for the companies to give financial information about their economic lives. It establishes specific issues, such as the elements of the annual accounts, and how the net profit should be determined. On the other hand, an effort was made to understand and analyse the relevence of the periodization of the corporations´ economic life. It happens having as underlying the accrual basis' accounting principle. This may occur due to several economic, financial and legal reasons. Concerning the economic reasons it is necessary to define economic periods for management evaluation and the distribution of the results to the company's owners. Financially, the company has to assure all the financial needs to maintain its activity. In legal terms, it is important to determine tax periods that can establish the tax due by the entity's economic performance. The analysis of article 10 of the spanish corporate income tax law allows us to conclude that the spanish tax legislator recognizes the tax direct valuation method to determine the taxable profit. It means that the net profit determined under accounting rules is used to calculate the taxable basis that will be subjected to pay income tax by the national economic entities.

    The income's integration into the tax base of spanish legal persons' tax
    2020-08-01 - Aldeia, Susana
    This paper seeks to understand how the corporate income tax law integrates into the tax base the income of Spanish companies. For this purpose, it examines the European Community’s legal dispositions of the Spanish case study. It makes an analysis of several data sources of Spain, mainly, the Accounting law and the Corporate Income Tax Law. Results show that the Spanish Tax System, since 1995, assumes the direct estimation regime as a method of corporate tax base's determination. It means that this jurisdiction assumes the profit determined under the accounting standards as available ability to pay’s the criterion, although subject to law’s adjustments. Thus, the income constitutes a tax base's element; its integration happens due to the acceptance of the accounting profit, where the income also represents one of the components. In this way, corporate income tax legislator does clarify the concept of income referring to the accounting law. This research aids in understanding better the determination of the taxable basis of companies, clarifying how the recognition of the company’s income occurs.

    The accounting role in determining the Corporate Tax Base in India
    2021-01 - Aldeia, Susana
    This paper aims to understand the role of the accounting of Indian companies in the determination of the corporate income tax law. For this purpose, it studies Indian legal structures such as the Corporate Income Tax Law, the Accounting Law, and the Constitutional Law. Results show that accounting legislation assumed the IASB directives to develop the Indian Accounting Standards, presenting a set of individual accounting norms. Nevertheless, they have the main goal to assist the preparation of the financial statements to help investors make economic decisions, and they do not have any role in the legal entities' taxation domain. The corporate income tax law does not assume accounting concepts for business tax determination, legal dispositions prefer the express clarification of all the elements in the tax calculation, representing a duplication of legal dispositions.
