Google's U.S. federal tax liability of 18%. GE's low tax rate.
10/28/2010
The US tax rate for corporations at 35%, but the $1.5 billion federal tax liability of Google comes to an effective 18% tax rate. GE's consolidated tax rate of 11.6% from 2005 to 2009. This is also true of other large American companies, raising questions of fairness at a time of budget cuts in education, Medicaid and Medicare. Many U.S. companies, such as Apple, also use offshore tax havens to protect profits from taxes.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
