C corporation can deduct 100% of the employees health insurance, and fully deduct the costs of any medical reimbursement plan. A lot of medical expenses that aren't covered by insurance, the C corporation can establish a plan that results in all of those expenses being deductible
Fringe Benefits
- Qualified education costs,
- group term life insurance up to $50,000 per employee,
- employer-provided vehicles and
- public transportation passes.
If you have other employees who are not family members, be sure to follow the rules that cover employees under a benefits plan.
- First $50,000 in annual profits is taxed at a rate of 15%.
- 39% at the $100,000-income level
If you are the owner of the corporation pay yourself that profit in salary so long as the total constitutes a reasonable salary . If you make more than $50,000, pay yourself $50,000 and leave the rest in the corporation - you get to take advantage of that 15% rate, but eventually you have to take the money out of the corporation.
Double-taxation
After paying all of its expenses, the corporation pays tax on those profits. When profits are received by you as a shareholder, you pay personal income tax on the dividends. However, small businesses have little left in earnings after salary and fringe benefits so no double-taxation issue. Even if there is a dividend, delay receiving the dividend and pay the tax on it for several years.
A warning - earnings tax and the personal holding company tax can be complicated, so consult a tax specialist.
