Question

A company wants to set up operations in a country with the following corporate tax rate structure: Taxable Income Tax Rate <$50,000 15% $50,000 - $75,000 25% $75,000 - $100,000 34% >$100,000 39% Therefore, a taxable income of $60,000 would result in taxes due of $50,000*0.15 + ($60,000-$50,000)*0.25 = $50,000*0.15 + $10,000*0.25 = $10,000 If the compay expects gross revenues of $300,000, $150,000 in total costs, $20,000 in allowable tax deductions and $6,000 in a one-time business start-up credit, how much should the company expect to pay in taxes?

Answer 1

$183,950

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total taxable income is

= $300,000 - $150,000 - $20,000

= $130,000

Now tax is

= 15% of $50,000 + 25% of ($75,000 - $50,000) + 34% of ($100,000 - $75,000) + 39% of ($530,000 - $100,000)

= 0.15 of $50,000 + 0.25 of $25,000 + 0.34 of $25,000 + 0.39 of $430,000

= $189,950

Now Tax owed is

= $189,950 - $6,000

= $183,950
