Corporate Tax Rate Report

2:54 AM

Posted by: John S Kiernan

Concerns over the proper role of taxation lie at the very foundation of American history. They haven’t gone away, either. In fact, President Donald Trump signed a new overhauled tax plan into effect in December 2017, which will affect earnings in the 2018 fiscal year. One of the largest changes in the plan is that the federal corporate income tax rate was permanently lowered from 35 percent to 21 percent. Republicans champion the tax plan as beneficial to business and consumers and Democrats claim it will only increase the wealth of the already wealthy.

With businesses looking forward to a large tax cut in the future, WalletHub analyzed annual reports for the S&P 100 — the largest and most established companies on the stock market — in order to determine the federal, state and international tax rates they paid in 2017. You can find the results, our detailed methodology and additional expert commentary below.

  5. Methodology

Main Findings
  • The overall tax rate that S&P 100 companies pay, around 39 percent, is more than 10 percentage points higher than it paid in 2016.
  • S&P 100 companies pay roughly 65 percent lower rates on international taxes than U.S. taxes.
  • Tech companies, including Facebook Inc., Apple Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc., are still paying more than 15 percent lower rates abroad, continuing the trend from 2013, 2014. 2015 and 2016.
  • More than ten S&P 100 companies are actually paying a negative overall tax rate and are therefore due a discrete net tax benefit: Charter Communications Inc., The Kraft Heinz Co., AT&T Inc., Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Pfizer Inc., Comcast Corp., Verizon Communications Inc., MetLife Inc., Union Pacific Corp., DowDuPont Inc., Netflix Inc., NextEra Energy Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp., Altria Group Inc., Exelon Corp. and Chevron Corp.
  • Among the remaining companies that owe taxes, Occidental Petroleum Corp., NVIDIA Corporation, BlackRock Inc., Ford Motor Co. and Microsoft Corp. pay the lowest rates.
  • The average S&P 100 company pays a 77 percent higher tax rate than the top 1 percent of consumers.

Ask the Experts: Should Corporations Pay Less than Consumers?

For insight into the country’s current corporate tax system as well as its potential fixes, we turned to experts in the fields of accounting and tax law for their thoughts on the following key questions

  1. Are the current multiple trade disputes going to send the stock market into depression? What risks these disputes pose for the investors?
  2. Is the U.S. leaving money on the table with the current corporate tax structure?
  3. What would you change about the way U.S. corporations are taxed?
  4. Do you consider tax-inversion deals to be unpatriotic?
  5. What should the relationship be between corporate and consumer taxes?

Methodology

In order to determine the tax rates paid by the S&P 100, we examined data from each company’s annual reports from fiscal years 2012 to 2017, identifying each organization’s revenues, tax payments and deferral amounts at the federal, state and international levels. This allowed us to determine their effective tax rates in each jurisdiction.

For simplicity, we considered companies for inclusion in the “highest & lowest” subrankings above only if they were actually profitable. Including companies that weren't profitable in a certain jurisdiction, for example, would lead to distortionary outliers.

For similar reasons, when calculating averages, we also excluded the five companies with the highest and lowest rates in each category.
