Shareholders—stakeholders in your business
There are two main types of corporations based on how you are taxed. In a “C” corporation, your shareholders receive dividends when your corporation’s income is taxed at the entity level. While this kind of double-hit may seem a disadvantage, your rate of taxation caps at 35 percent.
In an “S” corporation, you may have no more than 75 shareholders and you are limited in the number of shares you can own in another S corporation. Your level of taxation resembles that of small business partnerships and limited liability companies—no tax at the corporate level and your profit and loss passes directly to your shareholders.
Which is right for you? The experienced attorneys at Arenson & Maas, PLC can help you determine the structure and taxation strategy that works best for you, your business, and your shareholders.
