Corporate Tax Rate Report
3:36 AMPosted 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, overhauling the tax code is a top priority for the Trump administration, fueling partisan discussions of economic patriotism and debates over whether Main Street or top earners should foot more or less of the bill.
With President Donald Trump’s tax plan calling to slash the corporate income tax from 35 percent to 20 percent, 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 2016. You can find the results, our detailed methodology and additional expert commentary below.

- Historical S&P 100 Tax Rates
- Methodology
- The overall tax rate that S&P 100 companies pay, around 27 percent, is basically unchanged since 2015.
- S&P 100 companies pay roughly 30 percent lower rates on international taxes than U.S. taxes.
- Tech companies, including Facebook Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., are still paying more than 15 percent lower rates abroad, continuing the trend from 2013, 2014 and 2015.
- Only two S&P 100 companies are actually paying a negative overall tax rate and are therefore due a discrete net tax benefit: General Electric Co. and Exxon Mobil Corp.
- Among the remaining companies that owe taxes, Dow Chemical Co., International Business Machines Corp., Mondelez International Inc., Boeing Co. and Pfizer Inc. pay the lowest rates.
- The average S&P 100 company pays an 12 percent higher tax rate than the top 3 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:
- What is your assessment of the Trump administration’s corporate tax reform plan? What reforms do you think will ultimately be adopted?
- Is the U.S. leaving money on the table with the current corporate tax structure?
- What would you change about the way U.S. corporations are taxed?
- Do you consider tax-inversion deals to be unpatriotic?
- What should the relationship be between corporate and consumer taxes?

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 2016, 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.
