On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted. The Tax Act imposed tax on previously untaxed accumulated earnings and profits ("E&P") of foreign subsidiaries (the "Toll Charge"). The Toll Charge is based in part of the amount of E&P held in cash and other specific assets as of December 31, 2017. The Toll Charge can be paid over an eight-year period, starting in 2018, and will not accrue interest. Additionally, under the provisions of the Tax Act, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, the foreign earnings of Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. taxation at the Jerash Holdings level under the new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") regime.
