Worldwide American Companies Face High Effective Tax Rates |
U.S. companies face the second highest statutory tax rate among the 30 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The U.S. rate was 39.1 percent in 2009, including federal and state income taxes, according to the OECD. Effective tax rates are another measure of tax burden based on financial accounting principles. It is sometimes alleged that despite the high statutory tax rate faced by U.S. companies, they pay low effective tax rates. In fact, effective tax rates for worldwide American companies are also among the highest in the world. |
