Deductible temporary differences At December 31, 2018 the Company had deductible temporary differences for which deferred tax assets of $11,967 (2017 – $11,253) have not been recognized because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Company can utilize the benefits. The vast majority of these temporary benefits have no expiry date. Temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries The Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities in respect of historical unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which we are able to control the timing of the remittance and are considered reinvested for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2018, these earnings amount to $546,403 (2017 – $788,137). Substantially all of these earnings would be subject to withholding taxes if they were remitted by the foreign subsidiaries. 19. Income taxes (continued) Other factors affecting taxation During 2018 the Turkish Lira weakened, resulting in a deferred income tax expense during the year of $24,595 due to the decrease in the value of the future tax deductions associated with the Turkish operations. The Company expects that in the future significant foreign exchange movements in the Turkish Lira, Euro or Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar could cause significant volatility in the deferred income tax expense or recovery.
