NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES

U.S. Federal Corporate Income Tax

Temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and tax credit and operating loss carryforward that create deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

		2021				2020
Tax Operating Loss Carryforward - USA		$	10,800,000			$	9,800,000
Other			-				-
Valuation Allowance - USA			(10,800,000	)			(9,800,000	)
	$	-			$	-

The valuation allowance increased approximately $0.5 million, primarily as a result of the increased net operating losses of our U.S.- based segment.

As of December 31, 2021, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $29 million which will begin to expire in 2025. We also have Arizona net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $2.0 million which expire after five years. These carryforwards have been utilized in the determination of the deferred income taxes for financial statement purposes. The following table accounts for federal net operating loss carryforwards only.

Taiwan (Republic of China) Corporate Tax

Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc. is a subsidiary of the Company which is operating in Taiwan as a profit-seeking enterprise. Its applicable corporate income tax rate is 17%. In addition, Taiwan’s corporate tax system allows the government to levy a 10% profit retention tax on undistributed earnings for the prior year. This tax will not be provided if the company distributed the earnings before the ended of the fiscal year.

According to the Taiwan corporate income tax (“TCIT”) reporting system, the TCIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the business tax classified as value-added type (“VAT”) which will be reported to the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) on a bi-monthly basis. Since the VAT and TCIT are accounted for on a VAT tax basis that recorded all sales on business tax on a VAT tax reporting system, the Company is bound to report the TCIT according to the MOF prescribed tax reporting rules. Under the VAT tax reporting system, sales cut-off did not take the accrual base but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the company adopted US GAAP on accrual basis, the sales cut-off TCIT timing difference which derived from the VAT reporting system will create a temporary sales cut-off timing difference and this difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations.
