The aim of the research is to evaluate the economic and financial impact of income tax on business value creation of Colombia´s Stock Exchange companies (BVC, “Bolsa de Valores de Colombia” in Spanish) within a five year period (2012-2017). The study was made using accounting metric tools through the event study methodology allowing to calculate the Cumulative Abnormal Return (CAR), and utilizing a multivariate regression model with the dependent variable CAR and the independent variables EVA, P/E, ROE and EPS. Income tax policies established during the study period in tax reforms had neither a direct nor a proportional effect on value generation.
