Income Taxes
10. Income Taxes
The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes was $(7.3) million and $50.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $27.0 million and $198.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 10% and 17% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 30% and 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is primarily comprised of the 21% U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus U.S. state and foreign corporate income taxes, non-controlling interest, and disallowed executive compensation. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 also reflects a deferred tax benefit resulting from a reduction in future foreign withholding taxes. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had federal, state, local and foreign taxes payable of $63.4 million and $39.7 million, respectively, which is recorded as a component of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and certain state, local and foreign tax regulators. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2019 through 2021 are open under the normal three-year statute of limitations and therefore subject to examination. State and local tax returns are generally subject to audit from 2017 to 2021. Foreign tax returns are generally subject to audit from 2011 to 2022. Certain of the Company’s affiliates are currently under audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.
The Company does not believe that the outcome of the audits will require it to record material reserves for uncertain tax positions or that the outcome will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
On July 1, 2022, the State of New York issued proposed regulations, related to its 2015 law change, that may require corporate managers of investment funds (non-broker dealers) to change how they source income to New York state, which may result in an increase in the Company’s taxable income to New York. These regulations will not be effective until promulgated. The Company has not yet determined the effect of these proposed regulations on its tax provision.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA enacted a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on the “adjusted financial statement income” of certain large corporations, which became effective on January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect the IRA to have a material impact to its provision (benefit) for
income taxes given that any current year payments that would be made under CAMT would be permitted to be carried forward and used as credits in future years resulting in a deferred tax benefit. The Company will continue to monitor as additional guidance is released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the IRS, and other standard-setting bodies.
