Jones takes a different approach to the study of taxation than the traditional tax return preparation approach. This book teaches students to recognize the role taxes play in business and investment decisions. In addition, the book presents the general role of taxation and its implications across all taxpaying entities before discussing the details relevant to specific entities. This approach allows students to really grasp the fundamental concepts that are the foundation for specific tax rules. The benefit is that the students will understand the framework of the tax system, even though specific tax rules and regulations change from year to year.
In response to market demand, Principles of Taxation: Advanced Strategies, by Sally Jones and Shelley Rhoades-Catanach, was developed to provide coverage of advanced tax topics. This book is ideal for students who studied Principles of Taxation for Business and Investment Planning in their introductory tax course. The two textbooks provide an integrated two-semester sequence of topics that represent a complete educational package for tax students. Nevertheless, Advanced Strategies is written in a self-contained manner. While its approach is consistent with Principles, the technical content builds on knowledge that students should know from their introductory tax course, regardless of the textbook used. Advanced Strategies explores the tax consequences of many, sophisticated business, financial, and personal wealth-planning transactions. The discussion of tax issues emphasizes the development and implementation of strategies to make transactions as tax efficient as possible to all parties involved. Many of the tax strategies are analyzed in terms of their impact on net cash flows and on the income statements and balance sheets of the transacting parties.
This book is intended to help readers to understand financial accounting and to see how it can be used in practice, particularly in the interpretation and management of company finances. It should appeal to future managers, rather than to those who want to become accountants. It is intended to be ‘user friendly’ for those who are put off by conventional presentations of the subject based on arcane rules and procedures. Students from an arts background, for whom figures are sometimes a painful necessity, will probably find that this is as good as it gets with accounting textbooks.
The emphasis of this text is to teach students how to use and interpret accounting information in managing an organization. It includes: coverage of contemporary topics; a balanced use of service/retail/non-profit and manufacturing companies; and a company focus per chapter.
