Income Taxes Income Taxes
Income taxes payable represents taxes currently payable which are computed at statutory income tax rates applicable to taxable income derived in each jurisdiction in which the Company conducts business. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received refunds, net of tax payments of $1.8 million.
Income tax expense differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the Company’s mix of pre-tax income by jurisdiction and foreign taxes on domestic income.
Deferred income taxes include net operating loss carry-forwards. At June 30, 2026, the Company had tax loss carry-forwards in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the U.S. of approximately $57.9 million that are available to offset future taxable income in the respective jurisdiction. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Australian net operating loss carry-forwards primarily result from current and prior year tax deductions for contributions to AICF. James Hardie 117 Pty Limited, the Performing Subsidiary under the AFFA, is able to claim a tax deduction for its contributions to AICF over a five-year period commencing in the year the contribution is incurred. As of June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a tax deduction of $22.7 million (A$32.0 million) for the current year relating to total contributions to AICF of $426.0 million (A$639.4 million) incurred in tax years 2023 through 2026.
