VeriFone Systems is a provider of electronic card payment terminals, peripherals, network products, and software. In its 2015 annual report, the company reported deferred tax assets totaling about $398 million. The company also reported valuation allowances totaling about $332 million.

Deferred tax assets result from overpayment and advance payment of taxes. They are recorded on the assets side of the balance sheet.
