Corporate Tax Lawyers in Framingham

In Framingham, Massachusetts, a "corporation" is an entity that is, under the law, distinct from any of its owners. Basically, this means that the people who own a corporation, and the corporation itself, are distinct "persons."

This concept is referred to as "corporate personhood" in Massachusetts, and it essentially means that, for many purposes under the law, corporations are treated the same as individual people, being subject to many of the same rights and responsibilities.

One of the main legal duties a corporation has is the requirement that it pay taxes on its income, just as a person would.

Corporate Tax Rate in Framingham, Massachusetts

All corporations in America have to pay a federal income tax. Several states also have a corporate income tax, which corporations operating in Framingham, Massachusetts have to pay.
