Taft has adopted the following criteria for determining the materiality of an individual foreign country: (1) Sales to unaffiliated customers within a country are 10 percent or more of consolidated sales, or (2) long-lived assets within a country are 10 percent or more of consolidated long-lived assets.

  1. Calculate sales to unaffiliated customers within a country and as a percent of the consolidated sales.
  2. Calculate long-lived assets within a country and as a percentage of the long-lived assets.
  3. Apply Tafts materiality tests to identify the countries which are 10 percent or more of consolidated sales or consolidated long-lived assets to be reported separately.
