Corporate Tax Lawyers in Greenville

In Greenville, North Carolina, a "corporation" is a legal entity that is completely distinct from any person - even its owner. So, this means that a corporation is a distinct "person" from its owners and directors.

This doctrine is recognized as "corporate personhood." While the concept is somewhat abstract, the law of North Carolina treats corporations as individual persons, for most purposes. This means that, legally, corporations have many of the same rights, privileges, and obligations as living, breathing human beings.

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

Federally, the top corporate tax rate is 35% - a rate applying to corporations earning more than .3 million per year.

In North Carolina the corporate tax rate probably differs from the individual tax rate as well. In many states, policymakers have determined that the local economy benefits most when it is business-friendly.
