Corporate Tax Lawyers in Irondequoit

In Irondequoit, New York, 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 concept is referred to as "corporate personhood" in New York, 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.

An obvious example of this concept is a corporation's obligation to pay income taxes similar to how an actual person would.

Corporate Tax Rate in Irondequoit, New York

Every profit-earning corporation in the U.S. must, legally, pay the federal corporate income tax. Most states also have their own corporate income tax, which corporations located in Irondequoit, New York have to remit.

At the federal level, and in some states, corporations are taxed at different rates from individuals. Federally, the top corporate tax rate is 35% - a rate applying to corporations earning more than .3 million per year. Corporations earning less than ,000 a year pay a 15% corporate tax rate, and there are a few tax brackets in between. For comparison, the federal income tax for individuals maxes out at 33%.

The corporate tax rate in New York may also differ from the individual tax rate. However, in many states, the corporate tax rate is lower than the individual income tax rate. This is because many states believe that the best way to attract business (and therefore improve their economies) is to have a low corporate tax rate.
