- │ ENVIRONMENTAL TAX ON LARGE CORPORATIONS │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- The federal Internal Revenue Code has, for a number of
- years, imposed an environmental tax on the "alternative
- minimum taxable income" of certain large corporations.
- This tax did not generally affect a small business,
- however, as the tax applied, at the rate of 0.12%, only to
- corporate alternative minimum taxable income of over $2
- million. Note that this provision expired at the end of
- 1995. However, the Clinton Administration has been urging
- an extension of this tax, at least through the year 2000,
- and perhaps permanently, in the Taxpayer Relief Act of
- 1997, Congress did not act to reinstitute the tax.
- (Section 59A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986)

- Stay tuned....
