Distribution of Corporation Income - Income from a corporation is generally
distributed in five ways.

  1. Payment of business expenses.  Deductible business expenses include
    any wages, salaries, bonuses, business related travel expense, and other
    compensation paid to employees or independent contractors that render
    services for the corporation
  2. Payment of debts - Paying off the principle is not deductible, but almost all
    interest expenses associated with a loan or deductible.  
  3. Purchase of Assets - When a corporation buys an asset for the benefit of
    the company, it is generally not a taxable event.
  4. Loans - When a company lends money, it is generally not a taxable event.  
    However, interest received will generally be income to the company.
  5. Payment of Dividends - The Corporation, upon approval by the Board of
    Directors, may pay a dividend to its share holders out of profits.  Most
    dividends are paid out of after-tax corporate funds received by the recipients
    are usually taxable.
