Therefore, this study attempts to extent the study by examining the impact of book-tax difference (BTD) and whether the taxable income can be used as another measurement to indicate the earnings quality after the adoption of FRSs. The result finds the gap between the reported earnings and taxable income is getting smaller after the adoption of FRSs. The finding also discovers that after-tax taxable income (ATTI) is significant and positively related to market value of common equity (MV).
