Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

This provision is an important part of a company's financial statements since it indicates the company's commitment to meet its tax obligations. The current provision for income tax expense is the company's best estimate of how much it will have to pay in income taxes on its earnings for the current year, as required by tax laws and regulations. It is used for reporting and disclosing the anticipated tax liability to shareholders, investors, and regulatory authorities.
