Question

The policy of using undistributed profit into business. Answer in a word / phrase / term.

Answer 1

The undistributed profits tax was enacted in 1936 by the United States administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), during the Great Depression. The UP tax was a revenue program for FDR's New Deal. The act was controversial even within FDR's United States Treasury Department, as some economists such as Alfred G. Buehler thought that it would harm the ability of business to put capital towards company growth. In particular, Buehler reasoned that the UP tax would hit small business especially hard, as smaller businesses have fewer options in raising capital than large ones, usually by keeping a percentage of their profits for re-investment back into the business. The UP Tax was part of FDR's "Second New Deal".
The bill established the principle that retained corporate earnings could be taxed. The idea was to force businesses to distribute profits in dividend and wages, instead of saving or reinvesting them. In the end, Congress watered down the bill, setting the tax rates at 7 to 27% and largely exempting small enterprises.[1]
Conservative critics[who?] of the New Deal considered this a burden on business growth. Facing widespread and fierce criticism, the tax was reduced to 2½ percent in 1938 and completely eliminated in 1939.[2]

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The Franklin D. Roosevelt administration in the United States passed the undistributed profits tax in 1936. The measure established the general idea of taxing retained corporation gains. Instead of reinvesting or preserving profits, the goal was to compel companies to pay out dividends and wages.

undistributed profit determined:

Include the dividends previously received from stock ownership in the calculation of look-through earnings, and then add the percentage share of the retained operational earnings. Take taxes out of this total (calculated as if the entire amount had been paid out as dividends).

Undistributed profit:

Undistributed earnings are those portions of produced income that are not distributed to households but are instead preserved by the business for potential future investments.

Un dividend income is a component of a company's equity that is owned by its shareholders. They are also known as earned surplus, general reserve, corporate savings, accumulated profits, undivided profits, retained earnings, etc.
