South African Journal of Accounting Research, 1999, vol. 13, issue 1, 63-75

Abstract: The objective of this study is to determine whether or not the introduction of STC has resulted in South African companies retaining a greater amount of their earnings than prior to the introduction of STC. A statistical analysis of retention rates over a six year period is presented. The analysis shows that the retention rates of South African companies have significantly increased over the period 1990 to 1995 and the study concludes that the introduction of STC has contributed to this increase.
