On June 30, 2008, IDT Corporation (the “Registrant”) disclosed that, after discussions with the IRS, the Registrant received notices of Income Tax Examination Changes from the IRS (the “Notices”) claiming that, for the period covered by the review, the Registrant owed approximately $75 million in taxes for the period ending July 31, 2001 and approximately $1.0 million for adjustments carried forward to the years 2005 and 2006. As we noted on June 30, 2008, these amounts did not include applicable interest.
On August 6, 2008, the Registrant disclosed that it had signed the Notices acknowledging the IRS’ determinations and that the Notices had been countersigned by the IRS. In connection therewith, the Registrant paid $10 million of the amount owed. The Registrant noted then that it had not yet received the IRS’ determination of the amount of interest owed.
On August 27, 2008, the Registrant received a Notice of Tax Due from the IRS setting the interest owed at approximately $39.5 million. We are continuing discussions with the IRS on timing of payment.
