A branch of us corporation in foreign country is allowed to reduce their tax bill in us subject to income taxes paid in foreign country, so UK tax rate is only 30% and US tax rate is 35%, effectively the branch is liable to balance tax of 5% on income earned in UK of $5,000,000.
Tax liability in US = $5,000,000 x 35% = 1,750,000
Less: Tax credit for tax paid in UK = $5,000,000 x 30% = 1,500,000
Tax owed in US = 250,000
