A corporation's taxable income is taxed at the federal, state, and local levels.  It is customary for an agency to deduct the taxes paid to the other agencies before computing the company's tax liability.  For example, the federal taxes are based on the income that remains after the state and local taxes are deducted.  Similarly, the state taxes are based on the income that remains after federal and local taxes are deducted; the local taxes are based on the income that remains after state and federal taxes are deducted.
