NOTE 12 – TAXES

 

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.

USA

 

For the US jurisdiction, ATIF Inc., ATIF BC, ATIF BM are subject to federal and state income taxes on its business operations. The federal tax rate is 21% and state tax rate is 8.84%. ATIF BD has $nil State coporation tax, but franchise tax instead. The Company also evaluated the impact from the recent tax reforms in the United States, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act (“HERO Act”), which both were passed in 2020, no material impact on the Company is expected based on the analysis. The Company will continue to monitor the potential impact going forward. 

 

For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not incur income tax expenses.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets primarily derived from the net operating loss (“NOL”). The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduces the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. As of April 30, 2025 and July 31, 2024, management believes that the realization of the deferred tax assets appears to be uncertain and may not be realizable in the near future. Therefore, a 100% valuation allowance has been provided against the deferred tax assets.

 

Uncertain tax positions

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized and recorded as necessary in the provision for income taxes. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. There were no uncertain tax positions as of April 30, 2025 and July 31, 2024 and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months.
