Federal income taxes are the most significant category of C corporate taxes that are paid by businesses in the United States. Most countries have a corporate tax rate that is assessed on the profits made by businesses registered in their jurisdictions. The corporate income tax rate is set by statute and administered by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
A company must file a federal tax return each year to report profits made to the IRS and remit any taxes owed. The company must also file and pay state income taxes on its profits if it is registered or operates in a state that assesses a corporate income tax. Paying federal income tax is required for every corporation, but some states do not assess a corporate income tax at all.
If a C company has employees, it has to pay labor taxes. This includes state and federal payroll taxes. Labor taxes are often the second largest category of C corporate taxes that a business must pay. Unlike income taxes, each state requires corporations to pay employment taxes. These fees are usually paid quarterly rather than annually.
Sales tax is the third category of major C corporate taxes that you must pay, but the tax is a state and local assessment on gross sales rather than a federal tax. Each state has a different sales tax rate which is generally applied to sales of tangible products and not services. Some locations charge an additional tax either as a flat rate or on certain products.
There are several C corporate taxes that can be assessed on a business based on where it operates, what it sells, what it owns, or the size of its operations. Property taxes are a potential type of tax that some C corporations must pay at the federal and state levels. Property transfers can trigger a capital gains tax or a tax on the appreciated value of the property from the time the property was acquired to the time of the sale. Some companies pay a locality franchise tax analogous to a special assessment for operating in a high-value jurisdiction. Other companies have to pay excise taxes because they sell certain consumer products, such as cigarettes or motor oil.
