ExplanationIn determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, the Chamber applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2017, the Chamber has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Chamber is generally subject to potential examination by taxing jurisdictions for the prior three years.ExplanationTxt
