Corporate Tax Case Study

While most taxpayers agree that tax reform is necessary for our country the problem they encounter is the difficulty they experience when trying to understand all the political terms used when discussing tax reform. This paper is an attempt to help the taxpayers of our country to better understand the political terminology and gain knowledge about some of the proposals that have been explored.

It is necessary to determine when L was removed as director of SPG and SET to ascertain the validity of the plaintiffs’ appointment as administrators. To establish L’s time of removal, one must first conclude whether the decision at the meeting took effect immediately, or if the subsequent messages exchanged between M and L, and belated lodging with ASIC, suggest a later removal date.

Another idea would be to avoid increasing the tax rates as this will help “minimize economic distortions that shrink the level of production” (Baker III, 2009, p. 1). To promote economic growth, our team recommends that we take the approach of increasing the corporate tax base and decreasing the corporate tax rates. Other suggestion is to reduce the deductibility of state and local taxes. Other reforms that could be looked

Both coauthors explain “the myth of corporate taxes” with two statements: “When it comes down to it, no corporation or business really pays taxes,” and therefore, “the burden of it all falls on us [the taxpayers]” (32). They continue their explanation with another claim: “The economic education of Americans is so woefully inadequate that many of us actually think we pay less as individuals when the taxes are transferred to businesses and corporations” (31). To illustrate their point, the authors created a fictional corporation with simple guidelines. Although not their actual example, the following is similar: Qwerty Inc., a manufacturer of computer keyboards, has 200 employees and 100 shareholders. At the end of the year, Qwerty Inc. sold 1000 keyboards at $100 dollars each; therefore, the yearly income was $100,000. After labor, cost, taxes, and other charges, Qwerty’s profit is $2000 for the year. If the government adds a 10% corporate tax increase, Qwerty now owes an additional $200 in taxes. According to Boortz and Linder’s logic, Qwerty has several possibilities to balance the budget from the tax increase: the shareholders could see their dividends decrease, the price on the keyboards could be raised, some employees could be fired to save on cost, or employee benefits could decrease to cover the cost of the tax increase. This simple example demonstrates the current tax code’s consequences on the taxpayers (citizens and consumers) and introduces “the embedded

Whilst William McBride, chief economist for Tax Foundation website, sided with tax cut policy saying that to strengthen the financial state, “we should lower taxes on the earnings of capital,” “workers and the businesses that hire them,” Chye-ching Huang and Nathaniel Frentz, both are senior Tax Policy analysts, completely debunked the evidence McBride provided to support his argument, which includes the review of twenty-three among twenty-six studies he thought to advocate the idea. Indeed, as one conducts research, regardless of what sources it comes from, agreement over tax issue should never be found as a unanimous answer. One of the reasons why it is so difficult to reach a definite conclusion rests on the fact that although some statistics may show economic growth was in step with tax cut, correlation does not mean causation: just as ice-cream sale and murder rate increase during summer time, it is baseless to assume that higher ice-cream consumption leads to higher odds for crime. Moreover, because there is a great amount of research has been done on taxes, different interpretations from these data are understandable. Before concluding that “nearly every empirical study of taxes and economic growth published in a peer reviewed academic journal” finds cutting taxes improves the financial status quo, thus, people need to consider

With the advancements in the globalization of the economy, corporations are finding more ways to avoid the extraordinary tax rates set in place of The United States Of America. With the loss of revenue from large companies dodging taxes the government must make up for the loss by either raising taxes or changing the tax code. A recent company to avoid american taxes is Johnson Controls, a company that “…would not exist as it is today but for American taxpayers, who paid $80 billion in 2008…”(The Editorial Board). This use of American resources to get through tough times, and run to another county during an economic incline is an act that calls for reform in the American tax system. However congress has not passed any legislation to fix the

If the taxes for business are lowered, the businesses will be able to increase employment, and that will lead to the unemployment rate further decreasing, which will improve economic growth. In addition to that, the businesses will spend more on supplies and as it spends more on supplies, other businesses will get higher demand, and that will lead to more money that can be spent on multiple things such as hiring people, and improving production, and management efficiency. Eventually, this will be a ripple effect, and the Canadian economy will

Bull, Dowd, and Moomau (2011) analyzed the macroeconomic perspectives of corporate tax reform. The researchers indicated that it is important to consider changes in tax treatment – reduce a current rate from 35 percent to 30, and eliminate various loopholes in the

It is fair to assume that “Bill” (our working name of the widower) has a steady job and therefore steady income (no welfare). This is because otherwise he wouldn’t need insurance, he is already in deep trouble! Bill has two kids that in the next 10 years are both going to (likely) go to College. For that reason, the risk of (his) life loss and the kid’s exposure to financial hardship, life insurance products would be my only focus, i.e. I assume that auto and property insurance are already in place.

Recently, the public and the government of the United States have been at odds with each other over many enforced fiscal policies. Whether one believes that the answer to the nation’s economical crisis is an increase taxation of the wealthy one percent, or the leveling of the tax rate, every concerned citizen is searching for a solution. Typically, in American politics, the liberal side of the political scale believes that the wealthy should contribute more to the nation’s tax income. This idea centers on the notion that a lower tax rate on the poor will ease their burden and allow them to purchase more products; meanwhile, the rich will support the tax deficit from the lower classes with their own vast amounts of wealth. Opposite liberals, there is the conservatives. They will typically advocate for a tax break for business owners (wealthy or otherwise) or a more even tax rate across the socioeconomic classes. This outlook is supported by the idea that if the upper one percent of the U.S.A. is flourishing, it will produce more jobs and opportunity for the middle and lower class. Regardless of who is consulted, many people in today’s more liberal society will agree with higher taxation of the rich. However, there is a growing number of people in the United States that believe that the answer to solving the economic crisis is to abolish the current income tax and replace it with a national sales tax. By installing a national

A new vote that is supposed to come up this week will be considered the second big act on tax reform. The Senate Republicans reveal a plan of their own that will be different in many places as the House. One of the main parts of the reform is to see how far the Senate Tax writers will go on the corporate tax rate. It would go from 35 percent to 20 percent; unfortunately the Senate has a budget that constraints them which the House does not have. As we know, anything that goes through the Legislative branch has to be the same in both houses. The Senate in this case wants to try to patch up some of the holes that erupted when the House GOP leaders revealed the bill last week. That includes the disagreement from the small business association

Did you know that the last major tax reform, the 1986 Tax Reform Law, was signed by President Reagan? At that time, the tax code was approximately 30,000 pages. Changes instituted by congress since 1986 have brought our tax code to over 70,000 pages. Tax regulations, in its current state, are minimally understood in their current form by the public that they apply to.
