Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAX

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and income tax assets and liabilities, including evaluating uncertainties in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws. The statute of limitations, in general, is open for years 2014 to 2020 for tax authorities in those jurisdictions to audit or examine income tax returns. The Company is under annual review by the tax authorities of the respective jurisdiction to which the subsidiaries belong.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017, and reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, eliminated corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, modified rules for expensing capital investment, and limited the deduction of interest expense for certain companies. The Act is a fundamental change to the taxation of multinational companies, including a shift from a system of worldwide taxation with some deferral elements to a territorial system, current taxation of certain foreign income, a minimum tax on low tax foreign earnings, and new measures to curtail base erosion and promote U.S. production.

 

Due to the enactment of the Tax Act, the Company is subject to a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). GILTI is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. Companies subject to GILTI have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences including outside basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost. GILTI expense was $13 for the period ended Mar 31, 2021.

 

The Company's income tax expense was $118 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to income tax benefit of $8 for thethree months ended March 31, 2020. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 64.5% and (80.0%) for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in income tax expense and effective tax rate was due to the following:

 

1) The Company recorded a tax reversal of $70 due to reversal of provision for the GILTI tax coupled with the tax loss incurred from the adverse impact from COVID-19 during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

2) The Singapore operations incurred higher income tax due to higher income generated coupled with tax benefit, which was fully utilized during three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

The Company's income tax expense was $125 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to of $112 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 123% and 9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate was due to the following:

 

1) The Singapore operations incurred higher income tax due to higher income generated coupled with a tax benefit, which was fully utilized during the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

2) The Company incurred tax loss resulting from the adverse impact from COVID-19 during nine months ended March 31, 2020.

3) The Company recorded a income tax benefit of $35 as a result of a tax refund in the China operation during nine months ended March 31, 2020.

 

The Company accrues penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits when necessary as a component of penalties and interest expenses, respectively. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or related accrued penalties or interest expenses at March 31, 2021.

 

In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on these criteria, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will not realize the benefits of the federal, state, and foreign deductible differences. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established.
