What "words and language not used in the real world" are you referring to?
Light bills and copier payments as well as payroll taxes are a definite cost and totally unlike income taxes.
"Oh, you didn't make any profit next year you pay NO Light Bill." Now THAT is real idiocy.
The light bill is not definite either. Nobody knows what it'll be until the bill comes. Nobody knows the copier payment ahead of time either.
So how is the timing of knowing the exact amount due for income tax, or the light bill, or the copier bill related to whether the expense can be paid with sales revenues or from some still yet untold place you haven't disclosed?
How may companies do you know of which have remained in business by NOT making any profits?
