INCOME TAXES  
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

The Company is incorporated in the United States of America and is subject to United States federal taxation. No provisions for income taxes have been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

The Company’s Greece subsidiaries are governed by the income tax laws of Greece. The corporate tax rate in Greece is 29% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.

 

The Company’s United Kingdom subsidiaries are governed by the income tax laws of the United Kingdom. The corporate tax rate in the United Kingdom is 19% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.

 

As of September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the US federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

 

We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction in which it is subject to income tax.

 

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company has a provision for tax charges recorded in any jurisdiction where it is subject to income tax, in the amount of $83,238 and $79,716, respectively, which is included in Other Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
