Income Taxes |
(9) Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by tax rates in China and Hong Kong, the U.S. federal income tax rate, apportioned state income tax rates, generation of credits and deductions available to the Company as well as changes in valuation allowances and certain non-deductible items. Additionally, no tax benefit was recorded on the losses incurred in certain foreign jurisdictions as a result of corresponding increases in the valuation allowances in these jurisdictions. During the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted by a net discrete benefit of $1,843 and $2,226, respectively. This is related mainly to (i) the release of uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the statute of limitation in foreign jurisdictions, (ii) stock based compensation releases, (iii) the approval of the Company’s renewal application for High and New Tax Enterprise status for two of the Company’s manufacturing subsidiaries in China (including the impact on the respective Company’s deferred tax amounts), and (iv) accrued interest for existing uncertain tax positions. The Company has various foreign subsidiaries formed or acquired to conduct or support its business outside the United States. The Company expects its earnings attributable to most foreign subsidiaries may be repatriated back to the U.S. and so a deferred tax liability has been recorded for foreign withholding and the estimated federal/state tax impact. For those other companies with earnings currently being reinvested outside of the U.S., no deferred tax liabilities on undistributed earnings are recorded. |
