INCOME TAXES |
INCOME TAXES | (9)  Income Taxes In 2019, the Company is subject to additional provisions of the U.S. tax reform legislation enacted in December 2017 (tax reform). Tax reform reduced the corporate income tax rate and transitioned from a worldwide corporate tax system to a modified territorial corporate tax system. The Company’s 2019 U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate is 21 percent and was approximately 23.3 percent for 2018. The provisions of tax reform affecting the Company in 2019 include a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), a tax determined by base erosion and anti-abuse tax benefits (BEAT) for certain payments between a U.S. corporation and foreign subsidiaries, a limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, a deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII), and interest expense limitations. Based on the current interpretations of tax reform legislation and related regulations, along with the Company’s 2019 forecasts, the Company does not expect the combined effect of these provisions to be significant for the 2019 provision for income taxes. In 2018, the Company recorded discrete tax measurement period adjustments related to the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax assets to the new corporate income tax rate and for the deemed earnings repatriation tax (repatriation tax). Those adjustments for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 in millions of dollars follow:
|  | Three Months Ended April 29, 2018 |  | Six Months Ended April 29, 2018 |
|  | Equipment Operations |  |  | Financial Services |  | Total |  | Equipment Operations |  |  | Financial Services |  | Total |
Net deferred tax asset remeasurement |  | $ | (158) |  | $ | (19) |  | $ | (177) |  | $ | 853 |  | $ | (314) |  | $ | 539 |
Deemed earnings repatriation tax |  |  | (49) |  |  | 52 |  |  | 3 |  |  | 179 |  |  | 85 |  |  | 264 |
Total discrete tax expense (benefit) |  | $ | (207) |  | $ | 33 |  | $ | (174) |  | $ | 1,032 |  | $ | (229) |  | $ | 803 |
The full year 2018 discrete tax expense for the remeasurement of the net deferred tax assets was $414 million and the repatriation tax was $290 million. The full year repatriation tax included an accrual of approximately $63 million for foreign withholding taxes on earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. that were previously expected to be indefinitely reinvested. The final repatriation tax amount will be determined later in 2019 based on completing the 2018 income tax filings and the interpretation of regulations. Based on current law, the Company paid the repatriation tax in 2019 with an expected U.S. income tax overpayment. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at April 28, 2019 were $285 million, compared to $279 million at October 28, 2018. The liability at April 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018 consisted of approximately $133 million, $128 million, and $157 million, respectively, which would affect the effective tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized. The remaining liability was related to tax positions for which there are offsetting tax receivables, or the uncertainty was only related to timing. The Company expects that any reasonably possible change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months would not be significant.
