Tax implications for Tower:
Withholding tax = €2,500 x $1.50 = $3,750.00
Domestic Corporation tax = 156,712.50
Overall tax effect = $160,462.50
Explanation:
a) Inputs and Calculations:
Dividend = €500,000
Withholding tax = €2,500
After withholding tax = €497,500
Exchange rate = €1 = $1.50
Consequently, net dividend after withholding tax = €497,500 x $1.50
= $746,250
Corporate tax rate = 21% of $746,250
= $156,712.50
Tower incurs a withholding tax of $3,750 when converted to dollars and faces a corporation tax on earnings amounting to $156,712.50, calculated under the TCJA tax rate of 21%, a reduction from the previous 35%.
