A new report from Citizens for Tax Justice in Washington D.C. says big-profit companies are using “loopholes and tax breaks” to avoid paying a single penny in federal income taxes. The report includes Duke Energy on a list of 26 Fortune 500 companies that have not paid any federal income taxes in five years? Duke Energy has made more than $9 billion in profits since 2008. Actually, Duke Energy had a tax rate of a negative 3.5 percent which means they actually got refunds back from the IRS… *Statutes require corporations to pay 35 percent of their profit in taxes each year. On average, companies researched in this report paid 19.4% in federal income tax. http://myfox8.com/2014/02/26/duke-energy-not-required-to-pay-federal-income-taxes-for-past-5-years/
