Note 14. Income Tax

 

On a quarterly basis, the Company provides for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The Company recognized an income tax expense of $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. respectively, primarily related to foreign taxes.

 

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”). Changes include, but are not limited to, reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, interest expense, net operating loss, immediate expensing of capital expenditures, a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017 and the transition of the U.S. international taxation from a “worldwide” system to a territorial system of taxation and the introduction of a base erosion and anti-abuse tax.

 

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118 - Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the effects of the Tax Act may be adjusted within a one-year measurement period from the enactment date for items that were previously reported as provisional, or where a provisional estimate could not be made. Income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018, did not reflect any adjustment to the previously assessed Tax Act enactment effect. The Company will continue to assess forthcoming guidance and accounting interpretations on the effects of the Tax Act and expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with the guidance provided in SAB No. 118.

 

The Tax Act has a requirement that certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. The income required to be included in gross income is referred to as global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”) and is as defined under IRC Section 951A as is the excess of the shareholder’s net CFC tested income over the net deemed tangible income return. The GILTI inclusion amount is expected to be fully absorbed by net operating losses and is not expected to cause the Company to be in a U.S. taxable income position for fiscal year 2019. The Company has not recorded deferred taxes related to these GILTI provisions and has not yet determined its policy election with respect to whether it will treat GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or factor such amount into the measurement of deferred taxes (the “deferred method”).

 

In addition to the GILTI provision, the Tax Act also enacted the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”). The BEAT minimum tax under IRC Section 59A is applicable to the extent that the BEAT tax amount is greater than the regular corporate tax for a given year. This tax is applicable to companies with prior 3-year average annual gross receipts exceeding $500 million. The Company does not currently meet this threshold since its current average annual gross receipts are less than $500 million.
