NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES


The Company and its non-Canadian subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. USCAN and Galileo file separate tax returns in Canada. Provisions for income taxes include deferred taxes for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and tax purposes resulting from the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes.


The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The rate change was effective on January 1, 2018; therefore, the Company’s U.S. statutory tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, is 21 percent, while the rate for fiscal year 2018 was a blended rate of approximately 28 percent. The current applicable Canadian statutory rate for the Canadian subsidiaries is approximately 26.5 percent.


The Company had completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act as of December 31, 2018. The Securities and Exchange Commission had previously issued guidance that allowed for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. In certain cases, the Company had made a reasonable estimate of the effects on existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. The final transitional impacts of the Act did not differ materially from the initial estimates.


Under the new global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) tax rules established by the Act, the Company needed make two accounting policy elections. The Company had to elect to either treat taxes due on future GILTI inclusions in U.S. taxable income as a current period expense when incurred or reflect as a component of deferred taxes. The Company elected to include GILTI taxes due as a current period expense when incurred. The Company also had to make an accounting policy election to either use the incremental cash tax savings approach or the tax law ordering approach when assessing the realization of net operating losses related to GILTI. The Company elected to use the tax law ordering approach.


Carryovers


For U.S. federal income tax purposes at March 31, 2019, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers of $6.7 million with $2.0 million and $2.7 million expiring in fiscal years 2035 and 2036, respectively, and $2.0 million with no expiration. Certain limitations apply to the utilization of net operating losses with no expiration, which were generated after fiscal year 2018. The Company has capital loss carryovers of $1.1 million with $750,000; $348,000 and $2,000 expiring in fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. The Company has charitable contribution carryovers totaling approximately $73,000 with $34,000; $19,000; $5,000; $11,000 and $4,000 expiring in fiscal years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024, respectively. For Canadian income tax purposes, USCAN has net operating loss carryovers of $82,000 that expire in fiscal year 2039 and capital loss carryovers of $75,000 with no expiration. Also for Canadian income tax purposes, Galileo has net operating loss carryovers of $133,000 with $63,000 and $70,000 expiring in fiscal years 2036 and 2037, respectively. If certain changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryovers that could be utilized.


A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax amount will not be realized. At March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, a valuation allowance of $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, was included to fully reserve for net operating loss carryovers, other carryovers and certain book/tax differences in the balance sheet.
