Recoverable Indirect Taxes [Abstract] |
Recoverable Indirect Taxes | RECOVERABLE INDIRECT TAXES The Company’s Brazilian operations incur value added taxes (“VAT”) on certain purchases of raw materials, components and services. These taxes are accumulated as tax credits and create assets that are reduced by the VAT collected from the Company’s sales in the Brazilian market. The Company regularly assesses the recoverability of these tax credits, and establishes reserves when necessary against them, through analyses that include, amongst others, the history of realization, the transfer of tax credits to third parties as authorized by the government, anticipated changes in the supply chain and the future expectation of tax debits from the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company believes that these tax credits, net of established reserves, are realizable. The Company had recorded approximately $114.9 million and $91.2 million, respectively, of VAT tax credits, net of reserves, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
