GHAREF is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. GHCIC has received exemptions from the Cayman Island government exempting these entities from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes until December 9, 2034. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. HCIR and GHHS are for-profit entities and subject to income tax. With respect to its for-profit subsidiaries, the Association records income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the periods that the deferred income taxes are expected to be realized or settled. The Association recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Association has evaluated its tax positions and has determined that they do not have any material unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of December 31, 2024.
