Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Laureate's income tax provisions for all periods consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are based on estimated full-year effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete income tax items related specifically to the interim periods. Laureate has operations in multiple countries at various statutory tax rates and other operations that are loss-making entities for which it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized on the loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income t ax expense of $159,213, as compared to $174,163 in the prior year period. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was attributable to pretax income, the jurisdictional mix of earnings, pretax losses for which the Company cannot recognize a tax benefit, and discrete tax expense of approximately $32,500 that was recorded for income tax reserves related to the application of the high-tax exception to global intangible low-taxed income. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by jurisdictional mix of earnings, changes in income tax reserves and withholding taxes. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded discrete tax expense of approximately $35,700 for changes in estimate associated with provision-to-return adjustments for the amended tax returns for 2018 and 2019 and the tax return for 2020, specifically related to the final regulations that were released by the U.S. Treasury Department in July 2020 for the high-tax exception to global intangible low-taxed income. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which implemented a 15% minimum tax on book income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases and tax incentives to promote clean energy, among other provisions. The Company does not believe that this legislation will have a material impact on the financial statements and will continue to monitor regulatory developments to assess potential impacts to the Company.
