What method does Bw Premier Collection use for accounting for income taxes?
Bw_Premier_Collection Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to amounts considered by management to be more likely than not realized in future period.
The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established based on its determination of whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Both positive and negative evidence is considered when determining the necessity of the valuation allowance as well as the sources of taxable income supporting the realization of the deferred tax assets, including taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax-planning strategies and projected taxable income from future operations.
