International Pulp, a Swiss-based paper company, has annual pretax earnings (in Swiss francs) of SF 600. The corporate tax rate on retained earnings is 55%, and the corporate tax rate that applies to earnings paid out as dividends is 30%. Furthermore, International Pulp pays out 30% of its earnings as dividends, and the individual tax rate that applies to dividends is 40%.

What is the effective tax rate on corporate earnings paid out as dividends?

A)
70%.

B)
48%.

C)
58%.

This is an example of a split-rate corporate tax system. The calculation of the effective tax rate on a Swiss franc of corporate income distributed as dividends is based on the corporate tax rate for distributed income.
