NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company provides for income taxes and the related accounts under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse. Valuation allowances are established when management determines it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As part of the US government’s response to the Pandemic, we have received $701,568 in Employee Retention Credits, which provided funding to keep our employees. This has been recorded as other income for the year ended October 31, 2021.
