Income Taxes

12. Income taxes

We estimate our annual effective income tax rate in recording our quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 differs from the statutory rates due to valuation allowance as well as different domestic and foreign statutory tax rates.

Deferred tax recovery for the three and six month ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 as follows:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Deferred tax recovery	$	109,985	$	57,847	$	109,985	$	102,526

We have not yet been able to establish profitability or other sufficient significant positive evidence, to conclude that our deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Therefore, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
