Since a corporation is a business entity with its own structure and rules, the rules for corporate business taxes are different than those for partnerships, LLC’s or sole proprietorships. Corporations may be taxed by federal, state, or local governments based on their incomes, property, or existence.
Don’t Be Confused by the Many Types of Corporate Business Tax
Corporate business tax can encompass many types of taxes. Some of these have different rules for corporations than other business entities, although some are the same. Corporations are subject to:
- Income tax
- Property tax
- Payroll tax
- Withholding tax
- Excise tax
- Custom duties
- Value added tax
- Inventory tax
- Sales tax
- School district taxes
- And more
The company may be required to meet withholding obligations or send in estimated tax payments to avoid penalties. While these requirements are not the corporate tax itself, they do require extra paperwork and effort in order to comply.
