Effective tax rates before and after the Trump tax law:
Verizon
Before: 21%
After: 8%
Walmart
Before: 31%
After: 17%
AT&T
Before: 13%
After: 3%
Walt Disney
Before: 26%
After: 8%
FedEx
Before: 18%
After: 1%
This is what a corporate giveaway looks like.
@rbreich I'm not sure what financial years you are quoting but Verizon's effective tax rate in 2023 was 28.8% and in 2022 23.1% as per their latest 10-k
@theothersimo @rbreich OK thanks. but that is not a calculation that one would typically perform to determine the effective tax rate. Gross profit does not take into account opex, interest, depreciation or armortisation.
@theothersimo @rbreich I was merely pointing out a misrepresentation of the effective tax rates in the original post.
