Best Answer

Income to the corporation, as a legal "person", is taxable against the corporation. When the treasury pays dividends from its income to its shareholders, the dividend is taxable again as "income" to the shareholders.

A "subchapter S-corporation" avoids this by skipping the corporate taxes and directly taxing the shareholders for any corporate income.

Double taxation occurs because corporations are entities. As such, they have to pay taxes and shareholders have to pay taxes on the income distributed by the corporation.
