U.S. Corporation Tax Rate through 2016. It is common to say that the U.S. corporate tax rate is 35%, but the rate varies from 15% to 35%, depending on the amount of corporate income subject to tax for the year.

Business Structure and Taxes. For federal tax purposes, corporations come in two basic flavors: S and C. An S corporation passes its net income on to shareholders, who report that income on their individual tax returns. A C corporation pays taxes on the net income reported by the business. The federal corporate tax rates as of 2012 ranged from 15 percent on net income up to $50,000 to 38 percent on net of $15 million and above. Once a corporation reaches $18,333,333 in net income, the tax rate falls back to 35 percent.
