Note the TCJA had other effects that are beyond the scope of this column. Similar to favorable permanent differences, taking advantage of a tax credit will not only yield permanent tax savings for the client, but it will also reduce the client's ETR.

Uncertain tax positions ASC Paragraph - 10 - 50 - 15 : Companies are only allowed to recognize the benefit of tax positions they believe are more likely than not to be realized.
These positions can stem from temporary or permanent differences and include decisions as to whether to file in a particular jurisdiction. If a company does not file because it does not believe it needs to, it benefits from that decision and may be liable for repayment of tax if that decision later proves incorrect. Any benefits that are considered uncertain must be removed from income tax expense, which also affects the rate reconciliation.
By extension, when such positions are settled with tax regulators or when the statute of limitation expires, income tax expense and ETR will also be affected.

Thank you so much Silvia, you have made my Tax life in this topic easier. I wish i could attend your lecture class live God bless you, asante sana! Hi Silva, I have a question. I want to calculate effective tax reconciliation for a loss making company who is not obliged to pay tax due to being loss making. Hence, the company has untilized capital allowances brought forward and unutilized losses. In essence, no current tax was charged except deferred tax which has considered the unutilized losses and capital allowances in its computation.
I learnt the only items that are reconciled are items of permanent differences which does not exist in the deferred tax computation. How do I go about this? Hi Silvia thank you so much. Thank you for your education. May i know you how would have handled the example if the deferred tax balances brought forward were impacted upon by movement in FX rate?.
