Analysis of Income Taxes

Advanced level

Accounting Policy on Income Taxes

Broadcom accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Broadcom recognizes net deferred tax assets to the extent Broadcom believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, Broadcom considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. If Broadcom determines that Broadcom is able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net carrying values, Broadcom adjusts the valuation allowance and reduces the provision for income taxes. Likewise, if Broadcom determines that Broadcom is not able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets, Broadcom increases the provision for income taxes in the period such determination is made.

Broadcom accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on income taxes. This guidance provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.
