Analysis of Income Taxes

Advanced level

Accounting Policy on Income Taxes

Starbucks computes income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income taxes are recognized based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax bases of the assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which Starbucks expects the temporary differences to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Starbucks routinely evaluates the likelihood of realizing the benefit of the deferred tax assets and may record a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, Starbucks determines that some portion of the tax benefit will not be realized. In evaluating the ability to recover the deferred tax assets within the jurisdictions from which they arise, Starbucks considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If Starbucks determines that Starbucks would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, Starbucks would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

In addition, Starbucks’ income tax returns are periodically audited by domestic and foreign tax authorities. These audits include review of Starbucks’ tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions taken and the allocation of income between tax jurisdictions. Starbucks evaluates the exposures associated with the various tax filing positions and recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold, Starbucks records a related liability. Starbucks adjusts the unrecognized tax benefit liability and income tax expense in the period in which the uncertain tax position is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position or when new information becomes available.

Starbucks recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense on the consolidated statements of earnings. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax balances Starbucks’ consolidated balance sheets.
