Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

12. Income Taxes

Intevac recorded income tax provisions of $796,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and income tax provisions of $467,000 and $992,000 for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively. The income tax provisions (benefits) for the three and nine month periods are based upon estimates of annual income (loss), annual permanent differences and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which Intevac operates. For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 Intevac recorded a $505,000 income tax provision on income of its international subsidiaries and recorded $288,000 for withholding taxes on royalties paid to the United States from Intevac’s Singapore subsidiary as a discrete item. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 Intevac recorded a $685,000 income tax provision on income of its international subsidiaries and recorded $608,000 for withholding taxes on royalties paid to the United States from Intevac’s Singapore subsidiary as a discrete item. For the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2022 Intevac recorded income tax provisions on income of its international subsidiaries of $392,000 and $756,000, respectively, and recorded $127,000 and $285,000, respectively, for withholding taxes on royalties paid into the United States from Intevac’s Singapore subsidiary as discrete items. The tax provisions for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 are net of a tax benefit recorded for the partial release of the U.S. valuation allowance in the amount of $52,000 due to the acquired intangibles of Hia, Inc. (“Hia”). Intevac’s tax rate differs from the applicable statutory rates due primarily to establishment of a valuation allowance, the utilization of deferred and current credits and the effect of permanent differences and adjustments of prior permanent differences. Intevac’s future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, including the level of Intevac’s projected earnings, the geographic composition of worldwide earnings, tax regulations governing each region, net operating loss carry-forwards, availability of tax credits and the effectiveness of Intevac’s tax planning strategies. Management carefully monitors these factors and timely adjusts the effective income tax rate.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into U.S. law. The IRA includes a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“CAMT”) that is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The CAMT applies to corporations that report over $1.0 billion in profits to shareholders. The Company does not expect the provisions of the CAMT to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
