• DOUBLE TAXATION
  
  Refers to the structure of taxation under the Internal Revenue Code which subjects income earned by a C corporation to an income tax at the corporate level and a second tax at the shareholder level if the previously taxed income is distributed to the shareholders as dividends. Note that S corporations and Limited Liability Companies are not subject to double taxation.
