| | Corporate tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, under an imputation tax system, some or all of the tax paid by the company may be attributed pro rata to the shareholders by way of a tax credit to reduce the income tax payable on a distribution. | | | A feature of a classical tax system which includes corporate taxation is double taxation, in that profits made by a company are subject to corporation tax, but further tax (usually income tax) is payable by the company's shareholders when the same profits are distributed by way of a dividend. | | | Corporate tax refers to direct taxes charged by various jurisdictions on the profits made by companies or associations. |

| | Why Companies Pay Less (washingtonpost.com) |
| | Raising the question of corporate taxes is not populist or anti-business or redistributionist. | | | Another creative approach would be to tax corporations according to the income they report to their shareholders rather than the lower taxable income that they calculate after including the extra deductions, such as accelerated depreciation, that are available to them. | | | At a moment when corporate profits and the federal budget deficit are soaring, a constructive reexamination of corporate taxation can't be a bad idea. |

| | The federal taxes that the CBO analysis includes are individual income taxes, employer and employee shares of payroll taxes, excise taxes, and corporate income taxes. | | | Economists generally agree that individuals ultimately pay corporate income taxes and that in calculating a tax burden, it is necessary to distribute appropriately to individuals both the corporate taxes and the profits on which those taxes are based. | | | The federal taxes the JCT analysis includes are individual income taxes (including the outlay portion of the EITC), employer and employee shares of payroll taxes, and excise taxes. |

| | The Decline of Corporate Income Tax Revenues, Rev. 10/24/03 |
| | While the S corporation liberalization may have eroded the corporate income tax base when it comes to smaller corporations, it has not significantly affected the large corporations that account for the lion’s share of corporate income tax revenues. | | | Beyond this evidence, another sign that corporate tax sheltering is on the rise is the divergence between the “book” income that corporations report to their shareholders and the income that these corporations report to the IRS for tax purposes. | | | Corporate income tax revenues are sensitive to economic conditions, and the recent slowdown in the economy has played a significant role in the collapse of corporate revenues. |

| | The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was designed to increase the share of federal revenues collected via the corporate income tax and to decrease the share from the individual income tax. | | | The second major flaw in the corporate income tax is that it misallocates capital by favoring the issuance of debt over equity, because interest payments are tax deductible while dividend payments are not. | | | Except for emergency taxes in wartime, corporate profits were first taxed in 1909, when Congress enacted a 1 percent tax on corporation income. |

| | This means that if the owners keep some income in the corporation (profits that are not paid out to the owners in the form of salaries and bonuses), it will be taxed at corporate income tax rates, not at the individual income tax rates of its owners. | | | Because federal corporate income tax rates on the first $75,000 of corporate income are lower than the federal individual income tax rates on that same amount of personal income (see the chart below), corporate taxes on retained earnings can be lower. | | | Fortunately, up to $75,000 of these profits will be taxed at the lower corporate tax rates. |
