How to get a higher return on your corporate cash
Article Abstract:
Common and preferred stock can be used by corporations as an investment tool to reduce their taxable income. Using this instrument, corporations can have a 70% exclusion from taxation on dividends obtained from other corporations. Nevertheless, these corporations should be watchful of the risks inherent in common and preferred stock. They should know that an increase in interest rates can mean the reduction of the value of the stock holdings. They should also opt for monthly investments instead of the more risky lump-sum investments.
