The main items that give rise to deferred PTU asset as of December 31, 2011and 2010 (unaudited) are accrued expenses
for $798 and $877, respectively.
Income taxes in Mexico -
The Company is subject to ISR and IETU.
The ISR rate is 30% for 2010 through 2012 and was 28% in 2009; it will be 29% for 2013 and 28% for 2014.
IETU—Revenues, as well as deductions and certain tax credits, are determined based on cash flows of each fiscal year.
Beginning in 2010, the IETU rate is 17.5%, and it was 17% in 2009. The Asset Tax (IMPAC) Law was repealed upon enactment
of the IETU Law; however, under certain circumstances, IMPAC paid in the ten years prior to the year in which ISR is paid for
the first time, may be recovered, according to the terms of the law.
Income tax incurred will be the higher of ISR and IETU.
Based on its financial projections and according to Interpretation of Financial Information Standard (“INIF”) 8, Effects of the
Business Flat Tax, the Company determined that certain subsidiaries will pay ISR while others will pay IETU. Therefore,
deferred income taxes are calculated under both tax regimes.
Income taxes in other countries -
The foreign subsidiaries calculate income taxes on their individual results, in accordance with the regulations of each country.
The tax rates applicable in other countries where the Company operates and the period in which tax losses may be applied, are as
