14. Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 740, Income Taxes, at the end of each interim period, the Company is required to determine the best estimate of its annual effective tax rate and then apply that rate in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date (interim period) basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $200 and $534, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. Management of the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including the Company’s history of losses and determined that it is more-likely-than-not that these net deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards in Ireland which result in tax benefits of approximately $35,054 and $33,218, respectively, for which a full valuation allowance has been recognized. The net operating loss carryforwards do not expire, but are carried forward indefinitely. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of sufficient taxable income. If the Company demonstrates consistent profitability in the future, the evaluation of the recoverability of these deferred tax assets may change and the remaining valuation allowance may be released in part or in whole. While management expects to realize the deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, changes in estimates of future taxable income or in tax laws may alter this expectation.
