| (a) | The Company has VAT receivable from the Brazilian federal government totaling $12.8 million (BRL $51.5 million) (2018 – BRL $12.9 million). As an exporter, the Company’s sales are not subject to VAT. Federal VAT receivable may be used to offset other taxes payable including income and payroll taxes. As at December 31, 2019, $3.4 million (2018 – $nil) of the federal VAT receivable was included in other assets as they are expected to be recovered over a period which exceeds twelve months.
At December 31, 2019, the Company has VAT receivable from the Maranhão state government totaling $1.1 million (BRL $4.5 million) (2018 – BRL $4.6 million) net of an impairment provision. During 2019, the state government certified the balance of VAT receivable. The Company is in the process of identifying a buyer to sell all or a portion of these credits.
