What does the Article mean in plain language?
Adjusted Covered Taxes start with accrued current expense for Covered Taxes, then incorporate Article 31 additions and reductions and Article 33 deferred-tax adjustments. Also consider taxes recorded in equity or Other Comprehensive Income relating to included income taxable under local rules. The result is neither cash tax paid during the year nor total balance-sheet tax. Maintain a separate reconciliation linking each component to its account, provision and relevant year.
