Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES	The Company is incorporated in the United States of America and is subject to United States federal taxation. No provisions for income taxes have been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company’s Greece subsidiaries are governed by the income tax laws of Greece. The corporate tax rate in Greece is 29% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The Company’s United Kingdom subsidiaries are governed by the income tax laws of United Kingdom. The corporate tax rate in United Kingdom is 19% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law Public Law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Reform Act, following its passage by the United States Congress. The Tax Act made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax laws, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from 34.0% to 21.0%, limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80.0% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, one-time taxation of offshore earning at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated, elimination of U.S. tax on foreign earnings (subject to certain important exceptions), immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “SAB 118”, was issued to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. Additional work is necessary for a more detailed analysis of the deferred tax assets and liabilities and our historical foreign earnings as well as potential correlative adjustments. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense within the measurement period. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the US federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions in which the Company operates. We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction in which it is subject to income tax. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company has a provision for tax charges in the amount of $144,462 and $145,504, respectively, recorded in any jurisdiction where it is subject to income tax.
