Answer:

Eiffel Corporation

Computation of the tax consequences to Tower:

Withholding tax = €2,500 x $1.50 = $3,750.00

Domestic Corporation tax =             156,712.50

Total tax consequence =              $160,462.50

Explanation:

a) Data and Computations:

Dividend =        €500,000

Withholding tax = €2,500

Net after w/tax = €497,500

Exchange rate = €1 = $1.50

Therefore, net dividend after withholding tax = €497,500 x $1.50

= $746,250

Corporation tax rate = 21% of $746,250

= $156,712.50

Tower will suffer a withholding tax burden of $3,750 when translated into dollars and a corporation tax on income totalling $156,712.50 based on the TCJA tax rate of 21% instead of the former 35%.
