Tax Sheild

A tax shield refers to the reduction in taxable income achieved through allowable deductions such as depreciation, interest expense, or amortisation. By lowering taxable profit, tax shields reduce overall tax liability and improve cash flow. Businesses consider tax shields when making financing and investment decisions to optimise after-tax returns.
