Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract] |
Commitments And Contingencies | 8.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ﻿ Litigation Casinos Poland In March 2011, the Polish Internal Revenue Service (“Polish IRS”) began conducting a series of tax audits of CPL to review the calculation and payment of personal income tax by CPL employees. Based on the March 2011 audit, the Polish IRS concluded that CPL should calculate, collect and remit to the Polish IRS personal income tax on tips received by CPL employees from casino customers. The Polish IRS has conducted tax audits for the periods from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011. CPL has paid PLN 6.4 million ($2.1 million) related to these audits. ﻿ Following multiple appeals by CPL, the Supreme Administrative Court issued an oral decision in March 2016, which was confirmed in a written decision issued in May 2016, finding in favor of the Polish IRS for the tax periods of December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011. In October 2015, the Voivodship Administrative Court found in favor of CPL for the tax period from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 on procedural grounds that the prior tax proceedings were not conducted by the appropriate taxing authority. However, the court also found that CPL’s tax records for 2009 remain open for audit by a different tax authority. CPL appealed this decision to the Supreme Administrative Court in December 2015 and expects a decision in 2018. ﻿ A tax audit was not conducted for the period from January 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010, and the statute of limitations has passed for an audit to be conducted. As a result, the Company adjusted its contingent liability to remove the estimated taxes accrued for the 2010 tax year. The adjustment reduced the contingent liability by PLN 3.4 million ($0.9 million) in December 2015 and was recorded as gain on foreign currency transactions and other on the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings (loss) during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2015. ﻿ The balance of the potential liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet for all open periods as of June 30, 2016 is estimated at PLN 8.6 million ($2.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016). The Company has evaluated the contingent liability recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and has concluded that it is properly accrued in light of the Company’s estimated obligation related to personal income tax on tips as of June 30, 2016. The decision rendered by the Supreme Administrative Court in March 2016 and other proceedings by the Polish IRS may expose the Company to additional employment tax obligations in the future. Any additional tax obligations are not probable or estimable and the Company has not recorded any additional obligation related to such taxes as of June 30, 2016. Additional tax obligations assessed in the future as a result of these matters, if any, may be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To address these issues, the Company expects changes to the payroll and withholding processes for Casinos Poland will be implemented in the third quarter of 2016. The Company anticipates payroll costs to increase by approximately PLN 5.0 million per year ($1.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016). ﻿ Distribution to Non-Controlling Interest Century Downs CDR has an agreement with its non-controlling shareholders to distribute any funds received by CDR related to infrastructure built during the development of the REC project. Following CCE’s conversion of CAD 11 million that it had loaned to CDR into an additional 60% ownership interest in CDR, all funds received related to the infrastructure are distributed to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders as stated in the Credit Agreement between CCE and CDR. T he Company distributed $0.5 million related to the infrastructure to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders in the second quarter of 2015 and $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.
