This is the danger of looking at highly technical tax information and assuming it’s a simple read. If you dig into the 10-K for this company, they actually paid about 50% of their profit in tax this year. The discrepancy comes from a new R&D capitalization policy, which gives them a deferred tax benefit on their foreign derived intangible income. This benefit is only a small portion of the actual higher tax they’ll pay from this policy, but the US portion doesn’t impact effective tax rates

It’s wrong to say that corporations barely pay any tax, because income tax expense is a misleading metric that doesn’t relate to the tax a company pays
