INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
For interim income tax reporting the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to its year-to-date ordinary income. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 5.5% and 18.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to a benefit of 10.6% on loss before income taxes and a provision of 43.8% on income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Through the year ended December 31, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise was granted an extension of its exemption from the Macau 12% complementary tax on gaming profits. In March 2023, the Company applied for an extension of the exemption on gaming profits, which is currently under review.

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets, net of applicable reserves, related to net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and certain temporary differences. The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied.
