Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax | 17. Income Tax For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate on income (loss) before provision for income tax was 33% and 25%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax charges from foreign earnings taxed at higher statutory rates than the U.S. statutory rate and foreign losses taxed at lower statutory rates, partially offset by tax benefits from (i) non-taxable investment income and (ii) low income housing and other tax credits, partially offset by the impact of tax equity investments now accounted for under the proportional amortization method. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax charges from foreign earnings taxed at higher statutory rates than the U.S. statutory rate and foreign losses taxed at lower statutory rates, partially offset by tax benefits from (i) non-taxable investment income, (ii) low income housing and other tax credits, partially offset by the impact of tax equity investments now accounted for under the proportional amortization method, and (iii) the corporate tax deduction for stock compensation. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate on income (loss) before provision for income tax was 7% and 19%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits from (i) the reversal of previously non-deductible losses, (ii) low income housing and other tax credits and (iii) foreign earnings taxed at lower statutory rates than the U.S. statutory rate and foreign losses taxed at higher statutory rates, partially offset by the non-taxable investment loss related to the pending disposition of MetLife Malaysia. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits from (i) low income housing and other tax credits, and (ii) non-taxable investment income, largely offset by tax charges from (i) foreign earnings taxed at higher statutory rates than the U.S. statutory rate and foreign losses taxed at lower statutory rates and (ii) the non-taxable investment loss related to the pending disposition of MetLife Malaysia.
