A corporate tax, also called corporation tax or company tax, is a tax on the income or capital of corporations or analogous legal entities. Many countries impose such taxes at the national level, and a similar tax may be imposed at state or local levels. The taxes may also be referred to as income tax or capital tax.
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.
