Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |||
Income Tax |
We elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT, commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2013. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of net income that is currently distributed to our owners. However, our TRS will generally be subject to federal, state, and local income taxes as well as taxes of foreign jurisdictions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities for our TRS are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We recorded a tax benefit/(expense) of $0.0 million and $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the activities of our TRS. The income tax benefit and expenses recorded were determined using a federal rate of 35% and a combined state rate, net of federal benefit, of 5%. We have recorded a deferred tax liability in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on our consolidated balance sheet of $0.1 million related to the activities of our TRS as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. |
