A gross amount minus the income tax associated with the gross amount. For example, a company may dispose of one of its business segments and show a gain (proceeds exceed carrying amount) of $10,000,000. However, if the gain will result in income taxes of $3,000,000, the gain net of tax is $7,000,000.
Featured Review
"I am a partner in a small family accounting firm in Pennsylvania. I became a PRO user so I could review and refresh on the basics, as well as new items and regulations that pop up every other day. I love the way each subject is organized for easy access and review. I can go in, read the materials, and take an exam at the end to help solidify the concepts in my mind. It's always helpful to be able to go back and refresh my memory as I age and tend to concentrate in only specific areas of accounting. I have also benefited from the website by being able to review material when clients have questions or any particular situations that need further research on my part." - Steve
