INCOME TAXES [ABSTRACT] |
INCOME TAXES | (8) INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized. During the first quarter of 2014, a benefit of $1.2 million was recorded due to the closing of statutes of limitations in Canada. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company settled an audit with the taxing authorities in the Netherlands for tax years 2010 and 2011. An expense of $1.3 million was recorded in the quarter as a result of that settlement and the related impact through 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $52.8 million of gross deferred tax assets (after a n $10.2 million valuation allowance) and net deferred tax assets (after deferred tax liabilities) of $50.2 million related to the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 28.2% and 20.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 24.9% and 20.0%, respectively. The Company's U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 20 1 1 to present remain open tax years. The IRS has concluded its audit in the United Sates for tax years 2009, 2011 and 2012 resulting in no changes to the Company's financial statements or tax liabilities as previously reported. The Company is currently under audit of income taxes in Canada for tax years 2009 and 2010. Although the outcome of examination by taxing authorities is always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of this audit will not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
