C-Corporation

A c-corporation or corporation is a term used to describe a business entity for tax filing purposes used to distinguish itself from others. A c-corporation is often taxed twice because it pays a corporate income tax rate. The corporation itself pays taxes and then it pays taxes on any funds distributed to shareholders.
