Starting a New Business
Double taxation refers to the taxation of the same income or financial transaction by two different jurisdictions, typically seen in the context of corporations. This often occurs when a corporation pays taxes on its profits at the corporate level, and then shareholders also pay taxes on dividends received from those profits at the individual level. This phenomenon can create a heavier tax burden for corporations and their shareholders compared to other business structures.
