What are the effects of a corporate tax on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital of a business?
Lwade
Only when interest paid on debt is allowed to be tax deductible that a corporate tax will help pull the WACC down. This is because we used an after-tax rate for cost of debt in calculating WACC. And by using the after-tax rate we are assumming that the government allows companies to use interest paid on debt reduce their income tax obligations, hence creating a tax-shield benefit for adding debt.
