Tax Glossary Definition
Capital Gearing – Capital gearing refers to the relationship between a company’s fixed-interest or fixed-dividend bearing capital (such as debt and preference shares) and its equity capital. It reflects how much a firm relies on borrowed funds compared to shareholders’ investment, thereby indicating its level of financial leverage and exposure to risk.
Example: A company with substantial debt and relatively low equity is said to have high capital gearing, which may magnify both potential profits and financial risk.
