U.S. companies found ways to avoid taxes before tax bill: report
Fifteen U.S. corporations including online retailer Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), power company Duke Energy Corp (DUK.N) and insurer Prudential Financial Inc (PRU.N) avoided U.S. tax on nearly $25 billion in combined profits last year, a tax watchdog group said on Tuesday. A report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, or ITEP, said data showed how profitable Fortune 500 companies have routinely lowered their tax bills long before the Republican tax overhaul signed into law by President Donald Trump in December. The 15 corporations had profits of $24.5 billion in 2017 but managed to obtain nearly $1.4 billion in rebates from the U.S. Treasury for a combined tax rate of minus 5.6 percent, according to the ITEP report, which examined corporate income tax disclosures.
