Why does a corporation's state income tax cost depend on its marginal income tax rate for federal purposes?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Income tax: It is an assessment paid by people or elements relying upon the degree of income or increases during a monetary year. The income might be both genuine and notional. The Government of India chooses the pace of annual expense just as personal assessment chunks on which people are burdened.

Step 2

There are three jurisdictions in the United States for the point of view of taxing viz. local government, state government and the federal government. A state will levy and collect taxes from all individual residing in state jurisdiction and corporations registered with such a state. For inter-country taxation, countries also enter into bilateral agreements which are called as Tax Treaty.

The income tax is a collection by the government from the earners of the country from their income. It is a compulsory liability and is calculated at a pre-determined rate. It is a major part of the revenue of government for the expenses. The corporation’s state tax is depending on the federal income tax rate because as per article 1 of the constitution of the US, the power to set state tax law is with the federal government. However, they cannot set the different tax rate for different states, i.e. discrimination between different states is not allowed.
