REC Silicon - Reassessment of Income Taxes
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Fornebu, Norway - July 12, 2017: REC Silicon ASA (REC Silicon) has previously
disclosed notices of reassessment from the Norwegian Central Tax Office (CTO)
regarding tax returns for tax years 2009 through 2011. (See note 31 to the 2016
annual report http://hugin.info/136555/R/2092887/791015.pdf)
REC Silicon received a draft decision dated June 30, 2017 from the CTO which
disallows losses of NOK 7.7 billion in total (at 28 percent the tax would be
approximately NOK 2.2 billion). The Company expects these amounts to be adjusted
for group contributions and carry back of tax losses, which would result in the
recognition of approximately USD 26 million in tax expense plus interest of
approximately USD 4 million. This range of potential outcomes remains broadly
unchanged from disclosures previously made by the Company.
The Company will oppose the draft decision by filing supporting assessments and
presenting additional documentation. REC Silicon continues to believe that these
losses are tax deductible and that the eventual outcome will be in the Company's
favor. The CTO is expected to issue a final decision near the end of 2017. When
a final decision is issued, any resulting tax is generally due two weeks after
the decision.
The Company expects to challenge any adverse final ruling through the appeals
process and will attempt to defer any potential payment until a final resolution
has been reached.
The timing and amount of any potential outcome is subject to substantial
uncertainty.
The resulting short-term liabilities of approximately USD 30 million, income tax
expense of approximately USD 26 million, and interest expense of approximately
USD 4 million, will be reflected in the Company's second quarter 2017 financial
results, which are scheduled to be released on Thursday July 20, 2017.
