Income tax, description The US parent company, CREG is taxed in the US and, as of March 31, 2020, had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for income taxes of $1.27 million; for federal income tax purposes, the NOL arising in tax years beginning after 2017 may only reduce 80% of a taxpayer’s taxable income, and may be carried forward indefinitely. The management believes the realization of benefits from these losses may be uncertain due to the US parent company’s continuing operating losses. Accordingly, a 100% deferred tax asset valuation allowance was provided.      
Income tax provisions, description 1. Five-year net operating loss (NOL) carryback provision: the Act allows for the carryback of losses arising in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021, to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year of the loss. 2. Fiscal year NOL carryback fix from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017: the Act corrects the language to provide fiscal year taxpayers who had NOLs arising in years that began prior to December 31, 2017 and ended after December 31, 2017 with the ability to carry back those NOLs. 3. Deferral of 80% income limitation on post-2017 NOLs to 2021: the Act suspends this 80% limitation for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021, and instead allows the full offset of taxable income. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2020, the Act reinstates the 80% limitation. 4. Immediate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) tax credit refunds: the Act accelerates availability of AMT credits. The full remaining refundable AMT credit amount will be available for a corporation’s first taxable year beginning in 2019. Alternatively, a corporation may elect to use 100% of its AMT credits for its first taxable year beginning in 2018.
