Note 16 – Income Taxes

 

Income tax (benefit) expense was $(167,756) and $123,711 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $211,180 and $395,085, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. The current provision is attributable to Australian operations and the current tax rate in effect in that country. The Company also has operations in Canada that started at the beginning of 2016 and is currently evaluating its tax position as it pertains to the 2017 year end.

 

The total deferred tax asset is calculated by multiplying a domestic (US) 34% marginal tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”). The Company currently has NOLs, which expire through 2035. Management has determined based on all the available information that a 100% valuation reserve is required.

 

For U.S. purposes, the Company has not completed its evaluation of NOL utilization limitations under Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) Section 382, change of ownership rules. If the Company has had a change in ownership, the NOL’s would be limited as to the amount that could be utilized each year, based on the Code.
