Table of Contents
Deferred taxes have not been provided on excess book basis in the amount of approximately $5.1 billion in the shares of certain foreign subsidiaries because
these basis differences are not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and are essentially permanent in duration. These basis differences arose primarily
through the undistributed book earnings of the subsidiaries. The basis differences could reverse through a sale of the subsidiaries, the receipt of dividends
from the subsidiaries as well as various other events. Net of available foreign tax credits, residual income tax of approximately $1.4 billion would be due upon
a reversal of this excess book basis.
The components of Dell's net deferred tax asset are as follows:
