TAXES ON INCOME |
NOTE 12:- | TAXES ON INCOME
| a. | Israeli taxation:
| 1. | Corporate tax rates:
Generally, income of Israeli companies is subject to corporate tax. The corporate tax rate in Israel was 23% in 2024, 2023 and 2022.
| 2. | Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the "Law"):
The Company has been granted an "Approved Enterprise" status, under the Law, for nine investment programs in the alternative program, by the Israeli Government. Certain production facilities of the Company have been granted “Benefitted Enterprise” status under the provision of the Law. The Company was eligible under the terms of minimum qualifying investment and elected 2011 as the Year of Election as defined in the Law. Income derived from Benefitted Enterprise is tax exempt for a period of two years out of the period of benefits. Based on the percentage of foreign shareholding in the Company, income derived during the remaining years of benefits is taxable at the rate of 10%-25%. The period of benefits of the Benefitted Enterprises under the 2011 election expired in 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not generate taxable income from the Benefitted Enterprises. Income from sources other than a Benefitted Enterprise during the benefit period is subject to tax at the regular corporate tax rate (23% in 2024, 2023 and 2022). On January 1, 2011, new legislation that constitutes a major amendment to the Law was enacted (the "Amendment Legislation"). Under the Amendment Legislation, a uniform rate of corporate tax would apply to all qualified income of certain industrial companies, as opposed to the law's incentives that were limited to income from Benefitted Enterprises during their benefits period. According to the Amendment Legislation and following amendments, the applicable tax rate for 2016 and onwards was set at 7.5% in geographical areas in Israel designated as Development Zone A and 16% elsewhere in Israel. The profits of these Industrial Companies may be distributable as dividends, subject to a 20% withholding tax (or lower, under an applicable tax treaty). The Company is not located in Development Zone A. Under the transitory provisions of the Amendment Legislation, the Company may have elected whether to irrevocably implement the new law in its Israeli company while waiving benefits provided under Benefitted Enterprise or keep implementing Benefitted Enterprise during the relevant years. Opting for the new law is permissible at any stage. An amendment from December 2016 prescribes special tax tracks for technological enterprises. The new tax tracks under the amendment are as follows: Technological preferred enterprise - an enterprise for which total consolidated revenues of its parent company and all subsidiaries are less than NIS 10 billion. A technological preferred enterprise, as defined in the Law, which is located in the center of Israel will be subject to tax at a rate of 12% on profits deriving from intellectual property (in Development Zone A- a tax rate of 7.5%).
| 3. | On November 15, 2021, the Israeli Parliament released its 2021-2022 Budget Law (“2021 Budget Law”). The 2021 Budget Law introduces a new dividend ordering rule that apportions every dividend between previously tax-exempt (“Trapped Earnings”) and previously taxed income. Consequently, distributions (including deemed distributions as per Section 51(h)/51B of the Law) may entail additional corporate tax liability to the distributing company. The Company had approximately $169,300 tax-exempt profits in its Accumulated deficit. If such tax-exempt profits were distributed, it would have been taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate applicable to such income, and approximately $31,300 of additional taxes on income would have been recorded.
The 2021 Budget Law also offered a temporary tax relief for releasing trapped earnings, lowering the tax rate by up to 60%, effective for one year from November 15, 2021. In 2022, the Company utilized this relief to release trapped earnings, resulting in a one-time expense of $12,880 which was recorded under Taxes on income in the consolidated statement of income (loss).
| b. | Taxes on income on non-Israeli subsidiaries:
Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective domiciles of residence. The Company has not made any provisions relating to undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries since the Company has no future plans to distribute such earnings. If earnings are distributed to Israel in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to additional Israeli taxes on income (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes. As of December 31, 2024, the amount of undistributed earnings of non-Israeli subsidiaries, which is considered indefinitely reinvested, was $3,839 with a corresponding unrecognized deferred tax liability of $589.
| c. | Carryforward tax losses and credits:
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had operating loss carryforwards for Israeli income tax purposes of approximately $24,647 which may be offset indefinitely against future taxable income. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had capital loss carryforwards for Israeli tax purposes which may be offset indefinitely against future capital gains. the Company doesn’t expect future utilization of such carry forwards losses and accordingly records full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's U.S. subsidiaries had approximately $1,878 of carryforward tax losses for Federal tax purposes and $10,045 of carryforward tax losses for state tax purposes, which can be utilized up to 20 years since incurred, with expiration commencing in 2028. The U.S subsidiaries had R&D credits carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $2,346 and for state tax purposes of approximately $5,466. The Company has carryforward tax losses relating to other subsidiaries in Europe and South America of approximately $41,671 (which can be utilized indefinitely) and $48,303 ($42,535 can be utilized up to 4 years since incurred, with expiration commencing in 2025, and the remaining $5,768 can be utilized in part for up to 12 years and in part indefinitely), as of December 31, 2024, respectively.
