households economic policy edit regardless of who bears the burden corporation tax has been used as a tool of economic policy with the main goal being economic stabilization in times of economic downturn lowering the corporate tax rates is meant to encourage investment while in cases of an overheating economy adjusting the corporate tax is used to slow investment 22 another use of the corporate tax is to encourage investments in some specific industries one such case could be the current tax benefits afforded to the oil and gas industry a less recent example was the effort to restore heavy industries in the us 22 by enacting the 1981 accelerated cost recovery system acrs which offered favorable depreciation allowances that would in turn lower taxes and increase cash flow thus encouraging investment during the recession the agriculture industry for example could profit from the reassessment of their farming equipment under this new system automobiles and breeding swine obtained a three year depreciation value storage facilities most equipment and breeding cattle and sheep became five year property and land improvements were fifteen year property the depreciation defined by acrs was thus sizeably larger than under the previous tax system 23 legal framework edit this section needs more citations please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable

entity level in a particular jurisdiction net profit for corporate tax is generally the financial statement net profit with modifications and may be defined in great detail within each country s tax system such taxes may include income or other taxes the tax systems of most countries impose an income tax at the entity level on the certain type s of entities company or corporation the rate of tax varies by jurisdiction the tax may have an alternative base such as assets payroll or income computed in an alternative manner most countries exempt certain types of corporate events or transactions from income tax for example events related to the formation or reorganization of the corporation which are treated as capital costs in addition most systems provide specific rules for taxation of the entity and or its members upon winding up or dissolution of the entity in systems where financing costs are allowed as reductions of the tax base tax deductions rules may apply that differentiate between classes of member provided financing in such systems items characterized as interest may be deductible perhaps subject to limitations while items characterized as dividends are not some systems limit deductions based on simple formulas such as a debt to equity ratio while other systems have more complex rules some systems provide a mechanism whereby groups of related corporations may obtain benefit from losses credits or other items of all members within the group mechanisms include combined or consolidated returns as well as group relief direct benefit from items of another member many systems additionally tax shareholders of those entities on dividends or other distributions by the corporation a few systems provide for partial integration of entity and member taxation this may be accomplished by imputation systems or franking credits in the past mechanisms have existed for advance payment of member tax by corporations with such payment offsetting entity level tax many systems particularly sub country level systems impose a tax on particular corporate attributes such non income taxes may be based on capital stock issued or authorized either by number of shares or value total equity net capital or other measures unique to corporations corporations like other entities may be subject to withholding tax obligations upon making certain varieties of payments to others these obligations are generally not the tax of the corporation but the system may impose penalties on the corporation or its officers or employees for failing to withhold and pay over such taxes a company has been defined as a juristic person having an independent and separate existence from its shareholders income of the company is computed and assessed separately in the hands of the
