Meiji Holdings Co  (STU:3M0) Tax Expense Explanation

In the long run, income before tax and taxable income will likely be more similar than they are in any given period. If the one is less in earlier years, then it will be greater in later years. Deferred taxes will reverse themselves in the long run and in total will zero out, unless there is something like a change in tax rates in the intervening period. A deferred tax payable results from a tax break in the early years and will reverse itself in later years; a deferred tax receivable results from more taxes being paid in early years than the tax expense reported to shareholders and will again reverse itself in later years. The deferred tax amount is computed by estimating the amount and the timing of the reversal and multiplying that by the appropriate tax rates.

Meiji Holdings Co Business Description

Other Exchanges MEJHY:USA2269:Japan
Address 2-4-16 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, JPN, 104-0031
Meiji Holdings was established in 2009 as a merged entity of Meiji Dairies, Japan's largest dairy company, and Meiji Seika, the country's number-two confectionery maker. A surge in commodity prices, Japan's aging and shrinking population, and fierce competition propelled the amalgamation. The food business—dairy, cacao, nutrition, and food solutions—represents about 80% of the group's sales and 70% of profits. The rest comes from the pharmaceutical business, specializing in antibacterial and generic drugs, as well as vaccines. Overseas food operations, mainly in China, the US, and Southeast Asia, constitute merely 6.5% of the group's sales, which are in the red due to a surge in investment in China's new factories and fierce price competition initiated by Chinese dairymakers.
