Tax Benefits of `C` Corporations ? Business Failure
By Richard Chapo


?C? Corporation

The ?C? in C corporation has a few legal ramifications, but it is primary a designation for tax purposes. Put in layman?s terms, the designation simply means the corporation will act as its own tax entity. To become a shareholder in the corporation, you must exchange property, cash or services in exchange for stock.

The Internet Revenue Code sets out the law on tax and it contains a few juicy provisions for corporations. In the case of a business failure, the code delineates some favorable tax write-offs for the investment you made in stock.

Taking A Loss

Assume you and I go come to the conclusion that we can start a new search engine that will wipe Google, Yahoo and MSN off the map. Noting the litigious nature of those companies, a lawyer advises us to form a C corporation. We do so and each of us contribute $20,000 in cash for stock. In exchange for our contribution, we receive shares totaling 90 percent of the shares issued by the corporation. We are ready to go.

After a year passes, we come to realize that the search engine game isn?t so easy. In fact, the corporation is broke and neither of us are going to throw any additional funds at this turkey of a business. We decide to close shop and swear to never speak of the venture again.

From a tax perspective, all is not lost in the above scenario. When it comes time to file taxes, each of us will be able to deduct all or part of the $20,000 we spent to acquire stock in the C corporation. The specific percentage is going to depend on your exact situation, but you can expect to get a sizeable deduction.

As always, there are qualifies and restrictions to this write-off. Make sure you speak with a tax professional, so you can at least get something out of that turkey of a business.

...be honest and say that I had never heard of car gap insurance until recently. I suppose unless you buy a car on finance you might not know about such policies. As I understand it the car gap insurance covers you in the event of a car being stolen and never recovered or one that is deemed a total loss by the insurers. If you still owe money on the car to a finance company then the gap insurance will pay off the difference between what the insurer says the car is worth and what finance you have left on it. Some of the policies will even leave you with some money to use as a deposit on another car. It`s, probably something that many people would never even consider when they take a car out on finance. If the insurance company decides that the car is worth less than you thought it might be when it is deemed a total loss then you could have to stump up the money to pay off the bal...

Gap Insurance - Gap Insurance
...ple know what gap insurance is? I know that I had never heard about this type of insurance before until it was brought to my attention recently. The gap insurance covers the deprecation on a car in the event of it being stolen and never recovered. How does it work you might wonder and do you need to take it out if you have outstanding finance on the vehicle? Say you have ten thousand pounds worth of car finance on your car but when it gets stolen the insurance company says it`s only worth eight grand. It means you`ll have to find the extra two thousand pounds to pay off the finance company. If you take out gap insurance on the car, this amount will be covered, so you don`t have to find any additional money to pay off the debt. Most people buy cars and decide to keep them for a set amount of time so they know how much fina...
