In chapter 5, the component of asset share - Tax states
"For example, any tax already paid on the investment income that has gone into the positive side of the asset share 'equation' sgould be deducted for consistency.

What does it mean by 'positive side' and 'deducted for consistency'?

Hi Tushar

The positive side of the asset share calculation is all the things that have been added to the asset share, eg premiums and investment return.

The negative side of the asset share calculation is all the things that have been deducted from the asset share, eg claims, expenses and tax.

Imagine investment income is 100 and is taxed at 20%. Then the Course Notes you quote are saying that the asset share should increase by 100 for the investments, but decrease by 20 for the tax, ie go up by 80. It would be inconsistent to add in the investment return of 100 without deducting the tax we need to pay.

Best wishes
