Quantco, a domestic corporation, is an engineering consulting firm that has its main offices in San Diego, California. Because Quantco does a considerable amount of business in China, it has a branch office in Beijing. During the current year (2020), Quantco generates a total pre-tax profit of $100 million (all from active business operations), including $80 million of profits from its U. S. operations and $20 million of profits from its foreign branch in China. Assume the U. S. tax rate is 21% and the Chinese rate is 26%. Required:
Compute Quantco's total foreign tax credit and excess credit and/or limitation (if any).

Quantco

Quantico total foreign tax credit = $5.2 million, but this is limited to $4.2 million, giving rise to an excess tax credit of $1 million.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Pre-tax profit from active business operations = $100 million

Domestic pre-tax profit = $80 million

Foreign pre-tax profit = $20 million

US tax rate = 21%

Chinese tax rate = 26%

US tax on the foreign pre-tax profit = $4.2 million ($20 million * 21%)

Therefore, the total foreign tax credit = $4.2 million

Chinese withholding tax = $5.2 million ($20 million * 26%)

The limitation of the withholding tax = $4.2 million

Excess tax credit = $1 million ($5.2 - $4.2)

b) The IRS will limit the foreign tax credit which Quantco Corporation can claim to the lesser of the amount of foreign taxes paid ($5.2 million) or the U.S. tax liability on the foreign income ($4.2 million).

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
