The effective tax rate in the periods presented is the result of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rates. During the periods presented, the Company has a number of subsidiaries that operates in different countries and is subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate, as follows:

 

United States of America

 

The Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for our tax years beginning in 2018. The Company is registered in the State of Nevada and is subject to United States of America tax law. As of June 30, 2023, the operations in the United States of America incurred $331,658 of cumulative net operating losses (NOL’s) which can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The NOL carry forwards begin to expire in 2043, if unutilized. The Company has provided for a full valuation allowance of approximately $69,648 against the deferred tax assets on the expected future tax benefits from the net operating loss carry forwards as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.

 

Malaysia

 

Lucky Star F&B Sdn. Bhd. and SH Desserts Sdn. Bhd. are subject to the Malaysia Corporate Tax Laws at a two-tier corporate income tax rate based on amount of paid-up capital. The 2023 tax rate for company with paid-up capital of MYR 2,500,000 (approximately $535,573) or less and that are not part of a group containing a company exceeding this capitalization threshold is 17% on the first MYR 600,000 (approximately $128,537) taxable profit with the remaining balance being taxed at 24%.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Lucky Star F&B Sdn. Bhd.and SH Desserts Sdn. Bhd. incurred a loss of $1,483 and $1,476 respectively, which can be carried forward for seven years to offset its taxable income.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the operations in Malaysia generated $1,844,318 of cumulative net operating losses which can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss can be carried forward for seven years. The Company has provided for a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $313,534 on the expected future tax benefits from the net operating loss carry forwards as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.

 

 

The following table sets forth the significant components of the aggregate deferred tax assets of the Company as of June 30 and March 31, 2023:
