What Is An IC-DISC?
The IC-DISC is a sales corporation set up on behalf of the primary exporting company and acts as its sales agent. The sales agent (IC-DISC) earns a commission based on the export sales of its related supplier, using a detailed in a commission agreement between the primary exporting company and the IC-DISC. The primary exporting company receives a tax deduction for the commissions paid to its sales agent (IC-DISC), and due to the rules established by the Internal Revenue Code, the IC-DISC does not pay federal income tax on commissions, rather it can either distribute the earnings as a taxable dividend to its shareholders, or retain the earnings, deferring any taxation to the future. The dividends paid by the IC-DISC to its U.S. individual shareholders are taxable at a maximum rate of 15% rather than the maximum tax rate of 35%, thus lowering U.S. shareholders tax requirements from 35% to only 15% a tax reduction, which reduces the net tax requirement by fifty-eight percent.
