Income Taxes
The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is calculated by estimating Starz’s annual effective tax rate and then applying the effective tax rate to income before income taxes for the period, plus or minus the tax effects of items that relate discretely to the period, if any. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a benefit from Internal Revenue Code Section 199, which allows U.S. taxpayers a deduction for qualified domestic production activities. In addition, income tax expense differs due to state and local taxes for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and due to an increase in a valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
