The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect that taxes have on capital cost through the case study of Almacenes Éxito S.A. (period 2006-2010), considering as reference of study the main premisesof Modigliani & Miller (1958, 1963). The main findings show that the effect of taxes does not decreases the capital cost of a company in the period of study. Therefore, debt contracting does not have a tributary benefit for this company.This allows concluding that for the corporation, the incentive to access to financing through debt is a decision of its investment strategy. This paper contributes to other works that analyze taxes since an economic approach relating corporation's internal perspectives.
