Income Tax Accounting Policy
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Home Depot provides for federal, state, and foreign income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
Home Depot recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Home Depot files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return which includes certain eligible subsidiaries. Non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain U.S. subsidiaries, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, are not eligible to be included in Home Depot’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Separate provisions for income taxes have been determined for these entities. For unremitted earnings of the non-U.S. subsidiaries, Home Depot is required to make an assertion regarding reinvestment or repatriation for tax purposes. For any earnings that Home Depot does not make a permanent reinvestment assertion, Home Depot recognizes a provision for deferred income taxes. For earnings where Home Depot has made a permanent reinvestment assertion, no provision is recognized.
