Diffrence Between C Corporation And S Corporation

Sir,

What Is the Diffrence Between C Corporation And S Corporation

Answered by: admin  — 6 October, 2013

Dear Narender,

The main difference between ‘C’ and ‘S’ Corporation is the tax structure. A C-Corporation generally pays income taxes on the company income, then pays its shareholders dividends, which they pay personal income taxes on. This is commonly referred to as ‘dual-taxation’.

An S-Corp is a pass-through entity similar to an LLC. This means the company does not pay corporate income taxes, instead passes the income through the entity to the owners, and they pay personal income taxes on that income. S-Corp is limited to 100 shareholders, all of whom must be physical U.S. persons (with a few exceptions).
