Income Taxes | 7. Income Taxes A summary of our total income tax expense and effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:
|  | Three Months Ended December 31, |  |  | Six Months Ended December 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Loss before income taxes |  | $ | (639,061 | ) |  | $ | (1,019,895 | ) |  | $ | (1,917,627 | ) |  | $ | (1,522,119 | )
Income tax provision |  | $ | 55,000 |  |  | $ | 35,396 |  |  | $ | 157,134 |  |  | $ | 165,269 |
Effective income tax rate |  |  | -9 | % |  |  | -3 | % |  |  | -8 | % |  |  | -11 | %
The difference between our effective tax rates in the periods presented above and the federal statutory rate is due to the mix of taxable income and losses generated in our various tax jurisdictions, which include the United States (the “U.S.”), the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of Latvia. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, income tax expense was primarily related to income taxes from our operations in China, including accruals for withholding taxes on intercompany dividends declared by LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd. (“LPOIZ”), and paid or payable to LightPath, its parent company. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of these assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, our net deferred tax assets are related to the U.S. jurisdiction and we have provided for a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount we estimate is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Our net deferred tax asset consists primarily of federal and state tax credits with indefinite carryover periods. U.S. Federal and State Income Taxes Our U.S. federal and state statutory income tax rate is estimated to be 25.5%. Based on our current assessment of the valuation allowance position on our net deferred tax assets, no additional tax expense or benefit is expected to be recorded on pre-tax income or losses generated in the U.S. Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China Our Chinese subsidiaries, LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“LPOI”) and LPOIZ, are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China. As of December 31, 2022, LPOI and LPOIZ were subject to statutory income tax rates of 25% and 15%, respectively. The net deferred tax liabilities included in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 are related to LPOIZ, and primarily consist of timing differences related to depreciation. During fiscal 2020, the Company began declaring intercompany dividends to remit a portion of the historical earnings of its foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. parent company. The Company intends to reinvest a portion of the more recent earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries; however, the Company also plans to repatriate a portion of the historical earnings of its subsidiaries. The Company accrues withholding taxes on the portion of LPOIZ’s earnings that it intends to repatriate. Accrued and unpaid withholding taxes were approximately $40,000 as of both December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. Other than these withholding taxes, these intercompany dividends have no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Law of Corporate Income Tax of Latvia Our Latvian subsidiary, ISP Optics Latvia, SIA (“ISP Latvia”), is governed by the Law of Corporate Income Tax of Latvia. Effective January 1, 2018, the Republic of Latvia enacted tax reform with the following key provisions: (i) corporations are no longer subject to income tax, but are instead subject to a distribution tax on distributed profits (or deemed distributions, as defined) and (ii) the rate of tax was changed to 20%; however, distribution amounts are first divided by 0.8 to arrive at the profit before tax amount, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25%. As a transitional measure, distributions of earnings prior to January 1, 2018 are not subject to tax if declared prior to December 31, 2019. ISP Latvia has declared an intercompany dividend to be paid to ISP Optics Corporation (“ISP”), its U.S. parent company, for the full amount of earnings accumulated prior to January 1, 2018. Distributions of this dividend will be from earnings prior to January 1, 2018 and, therefore, will not be subject to tax. We currently do not intend to distribute any earnings generated after January 1, 2018. If, in the future, we change such intention, we will accrue distribution taxes, if any, as profits are generated.
