In reality, virtually no company in the US pays anywhere near the actual corporate tax rate. Variant Send a noteboard - 31/08/2010 11:12:05 AM

I'm hardly a specialist on the topic, but I understand that there are so many deductions and the like that companies who know what they're doing pay an effective rate that is far lower


With the current tax rate at 35% if you include all the numerous deductions/loopholes, I'd say more around 15%.
