2.2 Taxes Based on Income

ASC 740 clearly indicates that “income taxes” are the only taxes within its scope. ASC 740-10-20 defines income taxes as “[d]omestic and foreign federal (national), state, and local (including franchise) taxes based on income,” and it defines taxable income as the “excess of taxable revenues over tax deductible expenses and exemptions for the year as defined by the governmental taxing authority.”
