Income Taxes

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES

The Corporation was re-domiciled to the Bahamas in 2015 and it in the process of obtaining its certification of discontinued operations from the Canadian federal government. All regulatory requirements for that certification have been met and obtaining certification is considered a routine administrative matter. The substantial portion of our operations are generated out of our executive offices in the Bahamas which has no corporate income taxes. We do have operations subject to income tax in the united states of America, primarily the sale of product out of our New Jersey facilities.

The effect of the re-domiciliation from Canada to the Bahamas will result in the expiration of several tax attributes relative to our prior operations in Canada including Canadian research tax credit carryforwards and Canadian loss carryforwards. Canadian research tax credit carryforwards and Canadian loss carryforwards which will expire upon determination of the re-domiciliation by the Canadian federal government amount to $1,686,270 and $55,850,632, respectively.

Nymox recognized no provision (recovery) for federal income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect to these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Corporation can utilize the benefits therefrom.
