Note 8 - Income Taxes

 

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) legislation, enacted on December 22, 2017, reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% and is effective January 1, 2018 for the Company. The Company has not generated any taxable income and has not recorded any current income tax expense at June 30, 2018. Consequently, the tax rate change has had no impact on the Company’s current tax expense but impacts the deferred tax assets and liabilities and will impact future deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets are primarily comprised of net operating losses (“NOL”) that give rise to deferred tax assets. The operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,500,000 were available prior to the merger, and were set to expire in the year 2020. However, net operating loss carry forwards are limited when there is a change in control. Total net operating losses available at June 30, 2018 amounted to $2,800,000 ($1,500,000 of pre-merger NOL’s and $1,300,000 due to losses for the current period). Additionally, due to the uncertainty of the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets has been recorded.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory income tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2018 is as follows:

As of June 30, 2018, the Company does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s income tax returns generally remain open for examination for three years from the date filed with each taxing jurisdiction.

 

There was no provision for federal and state income taxes at March 31, 2018, since Galaxy was a Subchapter S Corporation prior to the reverse triangular merger, becoming a C Corporation on June 22, 2018.
