Income Taxes

8. Income Taxes:

 

Tax assets are recognized in the balance sheet if it is more likely than not that they will be realized on future tax returns. Factors considered included, historical results of operations, volatility of the economic conditions and projected earnings based on current operations. Based on this evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, there is no valuation allowance as of January 31, 2020 and at October 31, 2019. However, if it is determined that all or part of the deferred tax assets will not be used in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged against net income in the period such determination is made. As of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, net deferred tax assets were $161,122.

 

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into United States tax law on December 22, 2017. The Act makes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21%, and changes in business-related exclusions, and deductions and credits. As a result of the income tax rate reduction, the Company recorded a reduction of net deferred income tax assets of approximately $10,000 during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2018.
