Question: How much tax is paid by business (large and small) pay in the
United States (and I suspect any other country?)

A lot. In most states payroll taxes are between 10% and 50% higher than
income taxes levied on employees. Most states also charge a form of property
tax on inventory.

The answer is None. No business in the US pays so much as a penny in taxes.
What they do is 'get paid' for collecting indirect taxes levied on
consumers. These are immediately passed on to their customers in the form
of increased 'cost of doing business' overhead, including, as I mentioned,
the cost of collecting same for the government. Businesses are, in effect,
all agents of the IRS. These indirect taxes include, amongst others, such
things as the cost of increasing the minimum wage, an act that directly
affects a lot of union contracts with automatic increases. Get it?

Have a nice day . . .No Thanks I've already made other plans. . .

Huh, that's great news for our office manager. He's going tapdance on the
cieling in joy if he can truly stop paying all our payroll & pension guaranty
taxes.

Methinks you've been sucking at the teat of Right-Wing Fantasy Talk Radio again,
Michael. Didn't you ever figure out that stuff's bad for you?

As the owner of my company, I am getting all warm and
fuzzy at even with the unlikely and extremely remote possibility
of not paying so much as a penny.

And you actually mean to sit there and type away telling us that your office
manager, at the behest of owners and/or investors, pays those taxes out of
the warm fuzzy depths of his/her heart, with the owners permission; and
those costs including salary while performing same isn't passed on to the
consumer of your business? If so you are an exception of one. Everyone
else calls it 'cost of doing business' and includes it in the overhead.
Personally, when I had to pay those taxes I just raised my prices.

Come now. . . .say it isn't so!

Grin!

And when you bought a bag of groceries, your employer paid for them.

Sorry, no dice on this concept.

So you do pay your company taxes out of the profit side of the ledger rather
than passing the cost on to the consumer? Is there anything left over?

You're talking about inflation. Inflation is bad.
