    The application of the requirements of this Subtopic related to tax positions requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. The recognition threshold is met when the taxpayer (the reporting entity) concludes that, consistent with paragraphs 740-10-25-6 through 25-7 and 740-10-25-13, it is more likely than not that the taxpayer will sustain the benefit taken or expected to be taken in the tax return in a dispute with taxing authorities if the taxpayer takes the dispute to the court of last resort.…

    The Internal Revenue Code, Title 26 of United States Code, was first created in 1939 and was redefined in 1954. Changes made to the IRC replace old information so it is always currently defined what the laws are. This is the main source of tax law. Treasury Regulations are decisions made which can illustrate the IRC. There are proposed, temporary, and final regulations. Proposed regulations are proposed but not made final, temporary regulations are the process of making a proposal final, and have less authoritative weight, than final regulations which are the final regulation. If laws are undetermined by the IRC and the Treasury Department hearings go to court. U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Court of Federal Claims and U.S district courts are the choices of presenting litigation in which laws are interpreted…

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the recognized body for making pronouncements as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAPs) in the United States. The FASB has promulgated Statement of Financial Accounting Standard # 103 “Accounting for Income Taxes” which specifically prescribes the treatment of income taxes of corporate entities and guidance for how deferred taxes should be recorded either an asset or a liability in the financial statements. It also provides assistance in certain cases requiring a valuation allowance to be used to reduce the carrying value of any deferred tax asset for which it was “ more likely than not” that the asset would not be realized.…

    I appreciate the opportunity to comment on IASB's Exposure Draft Income Tax. This letter expresses my personal views based on my experience with a very specific issue: deferred taxes arising from the differences that result from there being a functional currency and another currency that applies for corporate tax purposes. In most countries, the currency that applies for corporate tax purposes is the same as the country’s local currency. However, where the functional currency is different, every change in the rate of exchange between these two currencies creates differences in asset values and future depreciation that results in deferred tax for the full difference between the said values. The current world economy is characterized by very high volatility among currencies, which is significant even during such a short time as one calendar quarter. It is common for the deferred taxes that result from this functional currency issue to have a significant effect on the P&L in both directions in several subsequent quarters. I believe that such an effect on the net results of a reporting entity is unreasonable and deviates from the true economic reality. It is important to emphasize that according to IAS 21, the differences in the net asset value arising from the translation of financial statements from functional currency to the currency of the consolidated statements are written to Funds from Translation Differences and the impact on the P&L is effective only in the event the asset is materialized. I propose that the same approach be implemented with for deferred taxes, and to record them against the equity until they are used in each period. Such an approach will prevent the unnecessary…
