Abstract

Accountants, and to a lesser extent also (tax) lawyers, have been arguing for decades now on the content and practical consequences of the True and Fair View Principle. This papers tries to demonstrate that: i) True and Fair View is nothing different from what lawyers already know under different names (teleological interpretation, analogy and anti-abuse rules); and ii) Not all contents of True and Fair View must have a consequence in tax accounting.

Keywords: True and Fair View, Commercial Accounting, Tax Accounting, Corporate Taxation
