Assume that a corporation has $100,000 of taxable income from operations plus $5,000 of interest income and $10,000 of dividend income. What is the taxable dividends? What is the company's tax liability?
The taxable dividends = Total dividend income *30%
Where, Total dividend income is $10,000
Therefore
The taxable dividends = $10,000 * 30% = $3,000
Taxable income of the corporation can be calculated in following manner
Taxable income from operations - $100,000
Plus: Interest Income - $5,000
Plus: Taxable Dividends received (30% of total dividend) - $3,000
Taxable Income- $108,000
Now calculate the company’s tax liability (refer the Corporate Tax Rates schedule)
$108,000 falls into the $100,000 to $335,000 tax bracket which has 39% of tax rate
Therefore,
The company’s tax liability = $22,250 + ($108,000 - $100,000) *39%
= $22,250 + $8,000*39%
= $22,250 + $3,120
= $25,370
