Note 9.  Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
At June 30, 2014, we recorded a net deferred tax liability of $556 million on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.  Of this amount, $1 million is a net deferred tax asset attributable to Indemnity and $557 million is a net deferred tax liability attributable to the Exchange.  There was no deferred tax valuation allowance recorded at June 30, 2014.  Our effective tax rate is calculated after consideration of permanent differences related to our investment revenues.  Given that these amounts represent over 98% of the total permanent differences, the effective tax rate is approximately 35% for both Indemnity and the Exchange when the investment related permanent differences are excluded.
