Answer:

Reason : To ensure constant flow of cash

Explanation:

<u>Accrual Basis of accounting</u> records transactions when they meet definition and recognition criteria of Assets, Liabilities,Equity, Expense and Incomes.

This is different from<u> cash-basis accounting</u> which records transactions at the receipt or payment of cash.

Hence Revenue services demand that income tax be calculated on accrual basis to ensure a constant flow of cash whenever an entity transact.
