ASU 2016-09 removed ASC 230-10-45-14(e), which stated that the following was a cash inflow from financing activities: “Cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements that are not included in the cost of goods or services that is recognizable for financial reporting purposes. For this purpose, excess tax benefits shall be determined on an individual award (or portion thereof) basis.” Such excess tax benefits were the same amounts that an entity was required to show as an operating cash outflow in accordance with ASC 230-10-45-17(c), which the ASU also removed.
