Cost of capital and valuation in the public and private sectors: Tax, risk and debt capacity

Abstract: Cost of capital and valuation differ in the private and public sectors, because taxes are a cost to the private sector but are only a transfer to the public sector. We show how to transform the after‐tax private sector cost of capital into its pre‐tax equivalent, for comparison with the public sector cost of capital. We establish the existence of a tax induced wedge between these two costs of capital. The wedge introduces a preference on the part of the private sector for assets with rapid tax depreciation, hi… Show more

“…First, the weak form indicates that the prices of stocks in the market reflect the previous records and past and historical information. Similarly, Brealey et al (2020) stress that the first form might be due to the possibility of determining the stock price from the data with regard to the historical prices. There are many arguments about market efficiency in the weak form.…”

“…However, Brealey et al (2020) states that many researchers believe that markets in the strong form are very likely to be inefficient.

“…Concerning the tax treatment of betting agreements, the literature [18] analyzes the different tax results as compensation considerations and deferred prices under different terms of betting agreements. According to [19], the tax treatment of profit payment plans should distinguish between the compensation or purchase price of the contingent consideration, which is subject to a lower capital gains tax rate and a higher ordinary income tax rate, which will have different benefits for both parties and should therefore be clarified in advance. The Australian tax treatment in literature [20] is mainly reflected in the separation of equity income and uncertain future income, which is then used as an adjustment to the initial investment cost after the occurrence of uncertain future events, but this Australian practice has a time limit, i.e., the adjustment of compensation to the initial cost cannot be extended for more than four years.…”
