Note 8 - Income Taxes.

 

The Company is subject to income taxes under the Israeli and U.S. tax laws:

 

Corporate tax rates

 

The Company is subject to Israeli corporate, 24% in 2017 and 23% from 2018. The maximum statutory federal tax rate in the US in 2017 and 2018 is 35%. The Company is not subject to current federal taxes, as it has incurred losses in 2017 and 2018.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company generated net operating losses in Israel of approximately $960,000, which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company generated net operating losses for tax in the U.S. of approximately $300,000. Net operating losses in the United States are available through 2035. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

 

The Company is still in its development stage and has not yet generated revenues, therefore, it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be available for the tax losses to be utilized in the future. Therefore, a valuation allowance was recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to its recoverable amounts.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law in the United States. The Tax Act, among other provisions, introduces changes in the U.S corporate tax rate, business related deductions and credits, and has international tax consequences for companies that operate globally. Most of the changes introduced in the Tax Act are effective beginning on January 1, 2018. As a result of the tax act the maximum statutory federal tax rate was reduced to 21% starting on January 1, 2018. The other effects of the Tax Act provisions are still being identified and evaluated by the Company.
