1 answer:

5 0

Answer & Explanation: The Berlin Blockade occurred between June 1948 to May 1949 which was characterized by the restriction of supplies to the U.S, Britain and French sectors of Berlin which coincidentally was situated within East Germany occupied by the Soviet Union. Railways, roads, canals etc. were blocked leaving millions of civilians without basic amenities.

In response to the Berlin Blockade of the period, the Western Allies arranged what was termed the Berlin Airlift which lasted nearly a year with the aim of bringing essential, vital supplies to the massive population of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the size of the city's population.

The blockage and the airlift response thus represented the very first major conflict of the Cold War era.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the taxation of C corporations?

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Non of these are correct

The corporate level is where c corporations first pay tax. Taxes are not paid on every dollar earned. Instead expenses made as operating expenses are deducted by c corporations from revenues, reducing the taxable income of the business.

Also, in a C Corporation, shareholders get taxed if the company distributes dividends to them. When the corporation pays dividends, shareholders pay tax on these dividends. This causes double taxation on some shareholders. if a C Corporation makes profit and dividends are distributed to shareholders then there will be cases of double double taxation.
