Since preferred dividends are paid after income tax, the coverage is calculated on a pretax basis by adjusting the preferred dividends for income tax. To make this adjustment, the preferred dividend figure is adjusted by the approximate percentage rate of income tax - known as the apparent tax rate - that a company paid for the year. 2, record 1, English, - apparent%20tax%20rate

Étant donné que les dividendes privilégiés sont distribués après le paiement de l'impôt sur le revenu, la couverture se calcule avant l'impôt sur le revenu en redressant les dividendes privilégiés pour tenir compte de l'impôt. Pour ce faire, le montant des dividendes privilégiés est redressé par le pourcentage approximatif d’impôt sur le revenu-appelé taux d’imposition apparent-qu'une compagnie a payé pour l'année. 2, record 1, French, - taux%20d%27imposition%20apparent

Because of the differences in figures that companies report in their income tax returns and in their annual reports, the apparent tax rate is not usually the actual tax rate of the company but merely an approximate rate for analytical purposes. Sometimes, companies will state their actual tax rate in their annual report. 3, record 3, English, - actual%20tax%20rate

En raison des chiffres différents que les compagnies donnent dans leur déclaration d’impôt sur le revenu et dans leur rapport annuel, le taux d’imposition apparent n’ est habituellement pas le taux d’imposition réel de la compagnie mais simplement un taux approximatif utilisé à des fins d’analyse financière. Parfois, des compagnies indiquent leur taux d’imposition réel dans leur rapport annuel. 4, record 3, French, - taux%20d%27imposition%20effectif
