Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are
not
limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from
35%
to
21%,
effective for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2017.
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from
35%
to
21%
under the Tax Act, we revalued our ending net deferred tax assets at
December 31, 2017,
which were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company has evaluated the other changes resulting from the Tax Act and does
not
expect them to have a material impact on the tax provision, therefore, the company considers the accounting complete.
