| Form 926 | Per IRS instructions, IRS Form 926 is not required to be filed by a tax-exempt entity, unless the income is unrelated business income. Mercy Ships does not have any unrelated business income and therefore is not required to file Form 926. | |
| Earnings & Profits | Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations, Schedule H - Current Earnings and ProfitsCurrent Earnings and Profits has not been calculated for the Foreign Corporation. The current year net income or (loss) per the foreign books of account amounted to $ 3,864,817. However, Earnings and Profits is unique to for-profit corporations and is needed to determine whether or not a distribution is taxable or not.The current book income of a for-profit corporation is adjusted for certain items to arrive at the amount of the current year's earnings and profits. Then if there is a distribution of money or other property by a corporation to its shareholders the distribution is treated as a dividend and is taxable as ordinary income to the extent it is made out of current and accumulated earnings and profits. A distribution in excess of a corporation's accumulated earnings and profits is generally taxed as a capital gain.Africa Mercy Malta is owned 99.8% by Mercy Ships (a non-profit U.S. corporation). As a non-profit corporation, Mercy Ships would not pay taxes on any income from Africa Mercy Malta. Additionally, the earnings of Africa Mercy Malta are derived from contributions from Mercy Ships and associated non-profit entites. These contributions were used to replace the generators, main engine controls, air conditioners and various other capitalizable expenditures. Thus, there is no cash remaining for actual dividends.Because nonprofit organizations are not engaged in a trade or business but, are engaged in charitable activities they will not generate any earnings and profits.Therefore, the Current Earnings and Profits has not been calculated. | |
