In deciding which entity to use for a new business, it is good to review the benefits and disadvantage of each one. A corporation According to e-text (page 1094) A corporation is liable to third person for the act of it is officers, employees, and agent to the same extent that a natural person is liable act of agents and employees. Because of the corporation is a separate legal person debt, the debts that owe are ordinarily the obligation of the corporation only. It is good to know the advantage and the person itself is not responsible of the corporation debts because nobody want debts that goes after their personal properties. I think thatâs the reason business owner choose a form of corporation however, the double taxation of appreciated assets on sale or dissolution is a bad disadvantage but it can be a right choice for certain situation because nobody wants to hold liable for their business debts, or personal income or any other personal assets. An owner always wants taxable profit and retain growth to pay down their business debts, even though the corporations taxes are extremely higher than a LLC, but I still recommended a business to choose a corporation that better benefit for them. A LLC taxes are lower but owner is personally obligator to any debts. It is good to know that corporation can also deduct disability insurance for owner-employees which is a significant advantage, reduced gain for capital gain and audit potential for tax liability A corporation enjoys limited liability, while partner is personal liable for the business. Frost, T. S. (1984). In regard to taxes, a corporation can generate tax saving if the corporate tax rate is lower than the personal one and if earning is retained in the corporation. the worse part will be the shareholder because they can be held personally liable for corporate debt and the creditor can now go after the shareholder property and their bank account and other assets that satisfy their dues.
