Note 6 — Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 12.0% and 12.7% for the six months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate reflected the tax benefit from stock-based compensation in the current period as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The prior year period included one-time benefits related to the resolution with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of a foreign tax credit matter and, to a lesser extent, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset related to the nonqualified deferred compensation plan. As of November 30, 2017, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $514 million, $256 million of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. As of May 31, 2017, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $461 million. The liability for payment of interest and penalties decreased $14 million during the six months ended November 30, 2017. As of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were $157 million and $171 million, respectively (excluding federal benefit). The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has closed all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal 2014, with the exception of certain transfer pricing adjustments. The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for fiscal 2015 and 2016. T he Company’s major foreign jurisdictions, China and the Netherlands, have concluded substantially all income tax matters through calendar 2006 and fiscal 2011, respectively. Although the timing of resolution of audits is not certain, the Company evaluates all domestic and foreign audit issues in the aggregate, along with the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, and estimates that it is reasonably possible the total gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $51 million within the next 12 months.
