| wundac | Income tax expenses/pretax income=tax rate |
| alexsar75 | wouldn't the effective tax rate be the actual tax that was paid? |
| dbedford | Effective tax rate for you and I is what we paid in taxes. Effective tax rate for a corporation is Tax Expense / pre tax income |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
