The calculated rate for the 2020-2021 fiscal year was 4.5%. Endowment corpus is intended to remain invested in order to allow for the funding of the continued purpose of each endowment fund. Part X : FIN48 Footnote BJE has adopted the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes accounting standard that clarifies the accounting and recognition for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in BJE's income tax returns. BJE's income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. BJE's open audit periods are 2017 - 2020. In evaluating BJE's tax provisions and accruals, future taxable income, and the reversal of temporary differences, interpretations and tax planning strategies are considered.
