3-1 Small Group Discussion: Deductibility
In this activity, your instructor will assign you to a group with four of your peers. Each of you will research the possible tax consequences of each of the alternative rewards that Bob is considering and you will report your findings back to your group.
Your client, Bob, is the CEO of a cooperation that has 12 stockholders who are also employees of the business. The cooperation operates a boat dealership in Sherman, Taxes. The cooperation has accumulated earnings and profits of $3,000,000, not including the current year's taxable income, which is expected to be $8,00,000. No dividends has been paid to stockholders. Bob has been very please with the corporation's performance and he wants to reward the stockholders.
Bob is considering paying cash dividends of $ 10,000 per share or giving each employee a new boat the costs $ 10,000 and retails for $ 15,000.
In addition, when talking with Bob, you found that he has a corporate plane that he regularly uses for vacation and that he allows other corporate officers to use for vacation.
Should Bob consider paying a large year-end bonus to each employee instead of declaring dividends? Why are why not? Is there a tax issue that Bob needs to consider when loaning the corporate plane to stockholders for vacations? What actions can Bob take to minimize corporate tax while also providing rewards to stockholders.?
Once everyone in the group has reported on the possible tax consequences, build on one another's ideals until, as a group, you have fully fleshed out the advantages and disadvantages of each approach to Bob's situation.
