A monetary incentive offered by the federal government for employers to hire registered Native American Indians and spouses of registered Native American Indians who live on or near an Indian reservation and work for an employer on that reservation. The tax credit provides a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the business's taxable income. Some Native American Indian employees will not qualify the employer for the tax credit, including those whose wages from the company do not meet a certain threshold specified by the Internal Revenue Service, those who are 5% owners of the company and those whose work is related to certain gaming activities. Employers must use IRS form 8845, Indian Employment Credit, to claim the credit.
1. A distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by the board of directors, to a class of its shareholders. The dividend is most often quoted in terms of the dollar amount each share receives (dividends per share). It can also be quoted in terms of a percent of the current market price, referred to as dividend yield. Also referred to as "Dividend Per Share (DPS)." 2. Mandatory distributions of income and realized capital gains made to mutual fund investors. Watch: Dividend Taobiz explains Dividend 1. Dividends may be in the form of cash, stock or property. Most secure and stable companies offer dividends to their stockholders. Their share prices might not move much, but the dividend attempts to make up for this. High-growth companies rarely offer dividends because all of their profits are reinvested to help sustain higher-than-average growth. 2. Mutual funds pay out interest and dividend income received from their portfolio holdings as dividends to fund shareholders. In addition, realized capital gains from the portfolio's trading activities are generally paid out (capital gains distribution) as a year-end dividend.
A self-employed taxpayer that controls his or her own employment circumstances, including when and how work is done. Independent contractors are not considered to be employees and must pay their own Social Security tax. It is up to the employer to correctly classify each worker as either an independent contractor or an employee. Independent contractors are considered to be sole proprietors of their own businesses and must report all income and expenses on Schedule C of Form 1040 (or Schedule E if they deal in rental property). Their employers have no control over how and when they work, and do not pay any of their federal insurance contributions (FICA) or federal unemployment taxes (FUTA).
A tax deduction received by a corporation on the dividends paid to it by companies in which it has an ownership stake. The purpose of this deduction is to soften the consequences of triple taxation. Triple taxation occurs because the company paying the dividend does so with after-tax money and the receiving company is subject to income tax on the dividends. Therefore, if the company that receives the dividends decides to pay out its shareholders, the money will have been taxed three times. Taobiz explains Dividends Received Deduction - DRD If a company owns less than 20% of another company, it is able to deduct 70% of the dividends it receives. If the company owns more than 20% but less than 80% of the company paying the dividend, it is able to deduct 80% of the dividend received. If it owns more than 80% of the dividend-paying company, it is allowed to deduct 100% of the dividends it receives.
The amount a Canadian resident applies against their tax owing on the grossed up portion of dividends received from Canadian corporations. Watch: Dividend Taobiz explains Dividend Tax Credit The dividends an individual receives from Canadian corporations are "grossed up" by 25%. This amount is then included on their income tax form as taxable income. Both Canadian federal and provincial governments then grants individuals a tax credit, equal to a percentage of the grossed up amount. This helps to reduce the actual tax payable. Let's run through an example. Susan Smith has a marginal income tax rate of 25% and is located in Alberta, where the provincial dividend tax credit is 6.4%. The federal dividend tax credit is 13.33%. Her total dividends for the year were $250. On the taxable income portion of her tax return she will include $312.50 (250*1.25). Her approximate taxes owing on this dividend would then be $78.13 (312.50*25%). She also receives dividend tax credits of $41.67 (312.50*13.33%) and $20 (312.50*6.4%). Therefore, in all her taxes payable on her dividend is $16.46 (78.13-41.67-20). This amounts to only 6.58% of her original dividend. Dividend tax credits are implemented in an attempt to offset double taxing, since dividends are paid to shareholders with a corporation's after-tax profit and the dividends received by shareholders are also taxed. There are both federal and provincial tax credits.
A tax that increases in increments based on income levels. Incremental taxes must be considered when evaluating new investment opportunities, especially for individuals or companies in the upper end of their current tax brackets. Incremental taxes may turn a seemingly profitable investment into a bad decision. For example, let's say an investor earns just below the maximum earnings allowable in his or her current tax bracket. A new investment opportunity is offered, which promises to earn a significant return. The investor must weigh the additional revenues against the incremental taxes associated with moving into the higher tax bracket. He or she may find that paying the higher tax rate on all or part of his or her income does not warrant investing in the profitable project.
Commonly referred to as just the "Dow," the Dow 30 was created by Wall Street Journal editor Charles Dow and got its name from Dow and his business partner Edward Jones. The index was developed as a simple means of tracking U.S. market performance in an age when information flow was often limited. Also known as the "Dow Jones Industrial Average". Taobiz explains Dow 30 A spin-off of the Dow Jones Transportation Average, consisting primarily of railroad issues in the early years, the Dow expanded to 30 stocks in 1928, where it remains today. The composition of the index changes regularly, as stocks and the industries it represents fall in and out of favor.
A tax that governments impose on financial income generated by all entities within their jurisdiction. By law, businesses and individuals must file an income tax return every year to determine whether they owe any taxes or are eligible for a tax refund. Income tax is a key source of funds that the government uses to fund its activities and serve the public. Most countries employ a progressive income tax system in which higher income earners pay a higher tax rate compared to their lower earning counterparts. The first income tax imposed in America was during the War of 1812. Its original purpose was to fund the repayment of a $100 million debt that was incurred through war-related expenses. After the war, the tax was repealed, but income tax became permanent during the early 20th century.
