Accounting for Income Taxes – Global Tax Developments Archive

Accounting for Income Taxes – Global Tax Developments is issued on quarterly basis and also periodically, as warranted by specific changes, and provides a user-friendly source of global tax information that may be considered in conjunction with accounting for income taxes under U.S. GAAP. It generally includes a brief summary of major international income tax developments and provides a summary of combined tax rates applicable in several key jurisdictions and the dates of enactment of rate changes, if applicable, under U.S. GAAP. The publication also contains select sample financial statement disclosures that may be considered relevant to accounting for income taxes. It is not intended to be a comprehensive analysis of the items addressed, either from a tax technical or tax accounting perspective.

Beginning in the 2nd quarter of 2012, this publication replaced the two publications (i.e., International Tax Developments and Quick Reference Guide for Applicable Income Tax Rates) which were published in past quarters.
