NOTE 14 — Taxes | (a) | Corporate Income Taxes (“CIT”) | Nevada Nevada does not have a corporate income tax. Australia Under Australian tax law, the applicable corporate income tax rate is 30%, or 25% if the company qualifies as a base rate entity (with annual turnover less than AUD 50 million and 80% or less of its assessable income from passive sources). In addition, there is no time limit for the carryforward of tax losses, allowing them to be carried forward indefinitely. However, when a company applies carried-forward losses, it must pass either the Continuity of Ownership Test (COT) or the Same Business Test (SBT) to ensure that the loss deduction complies with the regulations. Taiwan Under Taiwan tax law, the applicable corporate income tax rate is fixed at 20% effective from January 1, 2019. Operating losses may be carried forward to the tenth succeeding tax year when a “blue return” is filed or when the return is certified by an independent certified public accountant. No carry-back of losses is permitted. | i) | The components of the income tax provision are as follows: | | | | Three months ended June 30, 2026 | | | Three months ended June 30, 2025 | | | Current income tax expenses | | | 9,371 | | | | - | | | Deferred income tax expenses | | | 267 | | | | - | | | Income tax expenses | | $ | 9,638 | | | | - | | | | | Six months ended June 30, 2026 | | | Six months ended June 30, 2025 | | | Current income tax expenses | | | 36,530 | | | | - | | | Deferred income tax expenses | | | 14,136 | | | | - | | | Income tax expenses | | $ | 50,666 | | | | - | | | ii) | The following table reconciles Australia statutory rates to the Group’s income tax expenses: | | | | Three months ended June 30, 2026 | | | Three months ended June 30, 2025 | | | Loss before tax | | $ | (40,195 | ) | | | (9,920 | ) | | Australia statutory income tax rate | | | 25.0 | % | | | 25.0 | % | | Provision for income taxes | | | (10,049 | ) | | | (2,480 | ) | | Non-taxable income taxes | | | - | | | | 2,805 | | | Non-deductible expenses | | | 19,597 | | | | 4,315 | | | Change in valuation allowance | | | - | | | | 615 | | | Others | | | 90 | | | | (5,255 | ) | | Income tax expenses | | $ | 9,638 | | | | - | | | Effective tax rate | | | (24.0 | )% | | | - | | | | | Six months ended June 30, 2026 | | | Six months ended June 30, 2025 | | | Income/(loss) before tax | | $ | 45,784 | | | | (22,722 | ) | | Australia statutory income tax rate | | | 25.0 | % | | | 25.0 | % | | Provision for income taxes | | | 11,446 | | | | (5,681 | ) | | Non-taxable income taxes | | | - | | | | (6,402 | ) | | Non-deductible expenses | | | 21,664 | | | | 4,315 | | | Change in valuation allowance | | | - | | | | 21,392 | | | Others | | | 17,556 | | | | (13,624 | ) | | Income tax expenses | | $ | 50,666 | | | | - | | | Effective tax rate | | | 110.7 | % | | | - | | | iii) | The following table reconciles Australia statutory rates to the Group’s effective tax rate: | | | | Three months ended June 30, 2026 | | | Three months ended June 30, 2025 | | | Australia statutory income tax rate | | | 25.0 | % | | | 25.0 | % | | Non-taxable income | | | - | | | | (28.3 | )% | | Non-deductible expenses | | | (48.8 | )% | | | (43.5 | )% | | Change in valuation allowance | | | - | | | | (6.2 | )% | | Others | | | (0.2 | )% | | | 53.0 | % | | Effective tax rate | | | (24.0 | )% | | | - | | | | | Six months ended June 30, 2026 | | | Six months ended June 30, 2025 | | | Australia statutory income tax rate | | | 25.0 | % | | | 25.0 | % | | Non-taxable income | | | - | | | | 28.1 | % | | Non-deductible expenses | | | 47.4 | % | | | (19.0 | )% | | Change in valuation allowance | | | - | | | | (94.1 | )% | | Others | | | 38.3 | % | | | 60.0 | % | | Effective tax rate | | | 110.7 | % | | | - | | Deferred Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
