Income tax expense consists of the following:



	Fiscal Years

A reconciliation of taxes computed at the federal statutory rate to the provision for income taxes is as follows:



	Fiscal Years
	2013		2012		2011
Federal income taxes at statutory rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit	(0.2	)	2.1		3.4
Foreign income taxes	(1.7	)	(0.2	)	(1.2	)
Unremitted earnings	—		2.6		—
Net change in uncertain tax positions	0.6		(2.4	)	(0.3	)
Net change in valuation allowance	(4.8	)	(0.9	)	(3.4	)
Tax credits	(5.7	)	(1.0	)	(1.1	)
Manufacturer's deduction	(1.5	)	(1.7	)	(1.8	)
Adjustment to goodwill	—		—		2.0
Other	(1.6	)	(1.2	)	(1.4	)
Effective tax rate	20.1	%	32.3	%	31.2	%

The unremitted earnings impact to the effective tax rate in fiscal 2012 resulted primarily from the CFG Consolidation Plan.

We had income taxes receivable of $79.4 million and $101.7 million as of April 28, 2013 and April 29, 2012, respectively, in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

The tax effects of temporary differences consist of the following:



	April 28, 2013			April 29, 2012
	(in millions)
Deferred tax assets:
Pension and other retirement liabilities	$	272.4		$	256.4
Tax credits, carryforwards and net operating losses	77.3			85.6
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	32.2			53.2
Employee benefits	17.3			—
Other	10.2			30.8
	409.4			426.0
Valuation allowance	(43.5		)	(54.6		)
Total deferred tax assets	$	365.9		$	371.4
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property, plant and equipment	$	371.9		$	385.6
Intangible assets	134.3			125.8
Derivatives	1.5			31.9
Employee benefits	—			13.7
Investments in subsidiaries	44.1			44.6
Total deferred tax liabilities	$	551.8		$	601.6

The following table presents the classification of deferred taxes in our balance sheets as of April 28, 2013 and April 29, 2012:



	April 28, 2013		April 29, 2012
	(in millions)
Prepaids and other current assets	$	19.9	$	57.4
Other assets	—		3.2
Other liabilities	205.8		290.8

Management makes an assessment to determine if its deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Valuation allowances are established in the event that management believes the related tax benefits will not be realized. The valuation allowance primarily relates to state credits, state net operating loss carryforwards and losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized. During fiscal 2013, the valuation allowance decreased by $11.1 million resulting primarily from the utilization of tax losses in foreign jurisdictions.

The tax credits, carryforwards and net operating losses expire from fiscal 2014 to 2033.

There were foreign subsidiary net earnings that were considered permanently reinvested of $149.5 million and $123.6 million as of April 28, 2013 and April 29, 2012, respectively. It is not reasonably determinable as to the amount of deferred tax liability that would need to be provided if such earnings were not reinvested.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:



	(in millions)
Balance, May 1, 2011	$	33.6
Additions for tax positions taken in the current year	2.4
Additions for tax positions taken in prior years	(10.8		)
Settlements with taxing authorities	(9.3		)
Lapse of statute of limitations	(0.6		)
Balance, April 29, 2012	15.3

Additions for tax positions taken in the current year	3.9
Reduction for tax positions taken in prior years	(1.8		)
Settlements with taxing authorities	(1.0		)
Lapse of statute of limitations	(0.7		)
Balance, April 28, 2013	$	15.7

We operate in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within the U.S. and outside of the U.S., and are subject to examination from various tax authorities. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits included $5.1 million and $4.7 million of accrued interest as of April 28, 2013 and April 29, 2012, respectively. We recognized $0.4 million of net interest expense during fiscal 2013 and $3.5 million and $0.1 million of net interest income during fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively, in income tax expense. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits included $14.9 million as of April 28, 2013 and $14.1 million as of April 29, 2012, that if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.

We are currently being audited in several tax jurisdictions and remain subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective tax jurisdiction. Within specific countries, we may be subject to audit by various tax authorities, or subsidiaries operating within the country may be subject to different statute of limitations expiration dates. We have concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal 2012. We are currently under U.S federal examination for the 2013 tax year.

Based upon the expiration of statutes of limitations and/or the conclusion of tax examinations in several jurisdictions as of April 28, 2013, we believe it is reasonably possible that the total amount of previously unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $2.5 million within twelve months of April 28, 2013.
