Income Taxes Note 6 – Income Taxes
T
he Company computes its quarterly
income tax provision and resulting effective tax rate by using a forecasted annual effective tax rate and adjusting for any discrete items arising during the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.05% (tax benefit) and 0.03% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 0.07% and 0.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets and majority of foreign deferred tax assets. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will be realized by way of expected future taxable income.
