NOTE 15 – INCOME TAX

Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Israeli Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 (the “Inflationary Adjustment Law”)

Commencing January 1, 2008, the results of operations of Integrity Israel for tax purposes are measured on a nominal basis.

Changes in the Israeli corporate tax rates

On July 30, 2013, the Israeli parliament approved the Law for the Change in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments to Achieve Budgetary Goals for 2013 and 2014) – 2013, which, among other things increased the standard Israeli corporate income tax rate from 25% to 26.5% effective as of January 1, 2014,

On January 4, 2016, the Israeli parliament passed the Law for Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance No. 216, which, among other things reduced the standard Israeli corporate income tax rate from 26.5% to 25% effective as of January 2016,

Furthermore, on December 22, 2016 the Knesset plenum passed the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2017 and 2018) – 2016, by which, inter alia, the corporate tax rate would be reduced from 25% to 23% in two steps. The first step would be to reduce the corporate tax rate to 24% as of January 2017 and the second step would be to reduce the corporate tax rate to 23% as of January 2018.This change has no impact on the financial statements.

Tax assessments

For federal, state and local income tax purposes the Company remains open for examination by the tax authorities for the tax years from 2013 through 2015 under the general statute of limitations.

Notwithstanding, pursuant and subject to the provisions of article 145 of the Income Tax Ordinance, Integrity Israel’s tax returns that were filled with the tax authority up to and including 2012 are considered final.

Carryforward tax losses

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had cumulative net operating losses (NOL) for US federal purposes of approximately $4.4 million that will expire between the years 2032-2036. Integrity Israel has losses carry forward balances for Israeli income tax purposes of nearly $25.3 million to offset against future taxable income for an indefinite period of time.
