Foreign source income—Country X |
100,000 |
||
Total |
$ |
700,000 |
Sonar paid $40,000 income taxes to Country X. What is Sonar’s net US tax liability (using a 21% corporate income tax rate) if it claims a foreign tax credit against its US tax liability for the income taxes paid in Country X?
Select one:
a. $107,000
b. $126,000
c. $147,000
d. $166,000
b. $1,26,000
Calculation:
Total Income = US source Income + Foreign source income = $6,00,000 + $1,00,000 = $7,00,000
Total Tax liability in US = Total Income X Tax Rate = $7,00,000 X 21% = $1,47,000
Now, the amount of foreign tax credit available = Total Tax liability in US X Income from Foreign source / Total Income
= $1,47,000 X $1,00,000 / $7,00,000
= $21,000
Hence, net tax liabilty in US = Total Tax liability in US - Amount of foreign tax credit available
= $1,47,000 - $21,000
= $1,26,000
