In: Finance
You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earns$ 2.03 per share before taxes. Once it has paid taxes it will distribute the rest of its earnings to you as a dividend. Assume the corporate tax rate is 38 % and the personal tax rate on (both dividend and non-dividend) income is
20 %
How much is left for you after all taxes are paid?
As the Corporation earns $ 2.03$ per share.
Now it pays 38% tax on $ 2.03
Now you will get (1-0.38) * 2.03
= 1.2586
Now additional Income Tax on $ 1.2586 will be 20%
Thus final amount left would be (1- 0.2) * 1.2586
= 1.00688
The final amount left for you is $ 1.00688
