A tax treatment for which it is uncertain whether the applicable tax authorities (including the courts) will accept the treatment in accordance with local tax legislation is known as an uncertain tax situation.

Tax positions that are unknown could emerge, for instance, if there is doubt about

  • whether a certain type of income should be included in the taxable income of an entity;
  • whether a certain amount is tax-deductible;
  • if a certain transfer pricing methodology will be accepted by the tax authorities and the courts;
  • What is the proper application of the tax code in light of a recent tax court ruling;
  • varying interpretations of the law by tax authorities, taxpayers, and tax experts;
  • differences in how the appropriate tax authorities and the taxpayer/tax advisors understand a tax treaty, such as how much of a sum is subject to withholding taxes.

The requirements for interest and penalties linked with uncertain tax positions are not covered by IFRIC 23.
