OTHER REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS:
Aside from the final output, the student will be assessed at other times during the term by the following:
Business report
The purpose of this business report is to apply the tax concepts and techniques in an analysis of a real-world tax
issue or problem.
This will be a group written report. Each group will comprise of two (2) to four (4) members. The group will
either: identify the tax issue or problem which will be submitted to the faculty on Week 3 for approval, or the
faculty will provide the tax issue or problem for resolution. This will cover a specific problem or issue that a
taxpayer encounters in practice. The group will come up with a tax advice to address the tax problem or issue.
The business report will be submitted on Week 14 in softcopy (pdf format, 12 font size, double-space) to the
faculty. The business report should contain the following:
1. Executive summary
2. Table of contents
3. List of tables
4. List of figures
5. Nature of the tax issue or problem
6. Evaluation of the tax issue or problem with extensive discussion of legal bases
7. Possible alternatives (enumerate alternatives to address the tax issue or problem)
8. Evaluation of possible alternatives (discussion on the evaluation of alternatives with discussion
of legal bases and computations)
9. Recommendation
10. Reference list
The headings for items 5 and 6 should be specific to the issue or problem being addressed (e.g., Sale of real
properties for no. 5; Tax implication of sale of real properties for no. 6 with sub-headings: regular corporate
income tax/minimum corporate income tax, capital gains tax, among others). The business report should not
contain other headings other than the above items unless approved by the faculty.
The business report may contain 3,000 to 5,000 words (body only), however, it is the quality that matters. It may
contain pictures, charts or diagrams, and appendices showing the calculations and supporting documentations.
Use business English in preparing the business report and write using the first person (i.e., use “we”). Assume
that the group is a tax consultant.
