Corporate Taxation Laws apply to taxable entities, including corporations, LLCs, and partnerships. Many tax laws govern these entities, including the corporate tax codes, income tax laws, and anti-tax evasion agreements.
Corporate Tax Laws govern the interaction between corporations (business entities) and tax jurisdictions within a country. These laws often differ from the systems for taxing individuals or for-profit entities. For example, S Corporations, which are a category of a corporation, partners, and sole proprietors, enjoy what is known as pass-through taxation. In this type of taxation, the corporation, partners, or proprietor do not pay taxes; instead, the tax burden is passed on to the shareholders.
Corporate taxes apply to any taxes levied on corporations by federal, state, or local governments. Different taxing structures apply to different types of business organizations. Nonprofits are entitled to tax-exempt status.
Corporations that do not correctly pay their taxes may face tax audits and other penalties. For example, if they misapply their earnings, don't file taxes, or don't pay their taxes, they may be fined or penalized, and their tax-exempt or not-for-profit status may be revoked.
Corporate tax refers to the taxation of a company or a corporation. This is distinct from the taxation of other business entities, such as partnerships. While partnerships are taxed differently than corporations and treated as pass-through tax entities, many of the tax rules that apply to partnerships can be considered "corporate" tax.
Many giant companies face a similar tax situation as individuals who are subject to taxes. For such companies, income is subject to taxes, just like individuals. These taxes are commonly referred to as corporate tax or corporate income tax.
