Identify the additional amount of tax that will be due from the taxpayer on the dividends received in each of the scenarios below. TAX YEAR 2018

a. Masha (an individual taxpayer) owns 100 percent of Metro Fashion Corporation. In 2018, she receives a $100,000 dividend from the Corporation. Masha’s other sources of income this year are wages of $80,000 (thus, she is not considered a high income taxpayer).

b. Tyson Corporation owns 100 percent of Lafayette Corporation, and both companies are in the same affiliated group. Lafayette pays Tyson $300,000 in dividends in 2018. Aside from the dividend income, Tyson Corporation earned $400,000 in income from its ordinary operations during the year.

c. Maya Enterprises (a corporate taxpayer) owns 15 percent of Tiger Corporation. Maya Enterprises earned $2 million from its ordinary operations during 2018. Tiger Corporation paid out a total of $1 million in dividends to all its owners, giving each owner a dividend in proportion to its ownership percentage.

Why would we avoid estimates? What about Sales or Income taxes?

This will be probably the most important discussion we have, the 60-day rule. In government, as you can see we have few estimates. If we make all receipts only count if the cash is received (or paid) within 60 day of year end, by the time we complete financial reports (usually within 90 days of year end) we KNOW what will be collected. This fits with the current approach we use for funds. While only required for property tax, we generally use this rule for ALL taxes. So, if a tax is for the 2018 (June 12017-July 2018) budget, it is revenue in 2018 if collected before September 29th, 2018. If not, it will become revenue when it is collected. If it is collected before July 1, 2017, it is not considered revenue either since it is not available (budgeted) until July 1. We have a similar approach for matching costs.
