Which costs come off, and what's the gap between money in and taxable profit?
Research question: What is the difference between gross receipts and taxable profit for a sole seller, and which costs can be subtracted before tax is figured?
The verified facts describe profit measures that start from revenue, not the difference between gross receipts and taxable profit for a sole seller. Expenses such as cost of goods sold and selling and administrative expenses are subtracted from revenues to calculate EBIT 1. EBIT includes all incomes and expenses except interest and income tax expenses 2, and subtracting interest from EBIT gives earnings before taxes, while subtracting interest and taxes gives net income 34. The facts cover only EBIT, earnings before taxes, and net income, and they say nothing about sole sellers, gross receipts, or which costs are deductible before tax; they also carry no dates, so their recency cannot be judged against October 2026 1234.
