| The graph below was prepared using Google’s chart tool.
This horizontal bar graph shows the 2008 corporate tax rate before and after corporations apply tax credits to their returns. The data used for the rates are from the Internal Revenue Service’s publication: 2008 Statistics of Income – Corporation Income Tax Returns. This publication can be reviewed by clicking here (PDF file). To obtain the two rates, the total income reported on all form 1120 returns filed for 2008 was divided into the total income tax before credits and also into the total income tax after credits, reported on the returns. The rates shown in the graphs indicate, it seems to me, just how much tax credits can reduce taxes paid by companies. Tax credits can be an important way to reduce company tax expenditures. |
| The graphs to the right were created using Google’s graph tool.
The vertical bar graphs show the effective tax rate for small businesses by the entity type of the small business (sole proprietorship – nonfarm; partnership; S corporation; and C corporation). Details behind the percentages are in a 2009 study done by Quantria Strategies, LLC for the US Small Business Administration. The study can be read by clicking here (PDF file). The study defines a small business as a business having less than $10,000,000 in gross revenues. A separate graph is presented for C corporations because the effective tax rate for C corporations should not be compared to the effective tax rates for the other business entities. The reasons for this is that the C corporation tax rate does not include income taxes that owners pay on the salaries they receive from the corporation and the effective tax rate does not include taxes on dividends that owners receive from the corporation. |
