Regional Detailed Tax Losses and Credits

Tax Losses and Credits provide a mechanism that enables business entities to carry forward tax losses and credits to offset future taxable income and/or tax liability. Losses and credits are captured on the detailed Tax Losses Regional and Tax Credits Regional forms and are detailed by the year of origination and the year of expiration. The detailed Tax Loss Regional and Tax Credit Regional forms are integrated with the Current Provision Regional and Temporary Differences Regional forms.

Different countries have different tax rules around how long a company can carry these forward, and that is captured in the Year of Expiration. This data and detail on a consolidated basis is part of the tax footnote or disclosure with their financial statements.
