Review the accounting and measurement guidance


Assignment: Global Multinational Corporation

In certain countries, the tax rate applied to a company's tax return reporting income depends upon whether the profits for the period are distributed or undistributed. Amounts are initially taxed at the higher rate, but a tax credit is received when the profits are distributed. Therefore, companies need to determine what rate (distributed versus the undistributed tax rate).

Global Multinational Corporation (Global) is a U.S. company that owns and operates 100% of a consolidated subsidiary in a foreign jurisdiction where income taxes are payable at a higher rate on undistributed profits than on distributed earnings. For the year ending December 31, Year 1, Global's foreign subsidiaries taxable income is $150,000. Global's foreign subsidiary also has net taxable temporary differences amounting to $50,000 for the year, thus creating the need for a deferred tax liability on the balance sheet. The tax rate on distributed profits is 40%, and the tax rate on undistributed profits is 50%; the difference results in a credit if profits are distributed in the future. At the date of the balance sheet, no distributions have been proposed or declared. On March 31, Year 2, Global's foreign consolidated subsidiary distributes dividends of $75,000.
