Explanation of Solution

Pretax financial income: Income that is computed based on the records and documents presented by an individual, a firm, or an entity is termed as pretax financial income. Generally, pretax financial income is eligible for computing or determining the net tax liability of an individual, a firm, or an entity.

Taxable income: Income that is computed after all allowable or permissible deductions are made from pretax financial income is called taxable income. In other words, taxable income is eligible for computing the tax liability.
