Income Taxes Income Taxes
A number of countries have enacted legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 15% global minimum tax regime (Pillar Two) with effect from January 1, 2024. These changes did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate, results of operations or financial position for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and are not expected to have a significant impact to the full fiscal year. We continue to evaluate the impacts of proposed and enacted legislation for the jurisdictions in which TJX operates.
The effective income tax rate was 23.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 23.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. There were no significant changes to TJX’s effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
TJX had net unrecognized tax benefits of $205 million as of May 3, 2025, $217 million as of February 1, 2025 and $200 million as of May 4, 2024.
TJX is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S. and India, fiscal years through 2010 are no longer subject to examination. In all other jurisdictions, fiscal years through 2011 are no longer subject to examination.
TJX’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. The accrued amounts for interest and penalties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $23 million as of May 3, 2025, $28 million as of February 1, 2025 and $24 million as of May 4, 2024.
Based on the final resolution of tax examinations, judicial or administrative proceedings, changes in facts or law, expirations of statutes of limitations in specific jurisdictions or other resolutions of, or changes in, tax positions, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns may change materially from those represented on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 3, 2025. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that tax audit resolutions may reduce unrecognized tax benefits by up to $21 million, which would reduce the provision for taxes on earnings.
