Many taxpayers do not understand our complex tax laws, and occasionally make simple errors that lead to extremely harsh consequences.
Think of a corporation that pays Capital dividends (typically tax free), one day before they were allowed to. This means that the dividend is subject to tax simply because it was paid out one day early.
