Expert Solution
Step 1: Meaning of tax

The corporation has to pay income taxes. Income tax is paid on the taxable income using the applicable tax rate. Some income is exempt from tax and therefore does not form part of the taxable income. The exemptions and deductions reduce the taxable income and direct tax liability.
