Corporations are businesses with separate legal identities of their own; this means that corporations must pay taxes on their profits much like individuals must pay income taxes. Corporate tax regulations can provide incentives, often through tax deductions, to corporations to promote desired behaviors. On the other hand, the corporate tax code also imposes significant tax liabilities. For instance, a corporation is obligated to pay taxes on profits as well as on payroll taxes, meaning that they must withhold the proper amounts of money from employee paychecks, match Social Security contributions made by employees, and make quarterly payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). A corporation that fails to comply with the burdens placed upon it by corporate tax law can be subject to fines, interest charges, liens and other collection activities.
