Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax | Income Tax Autodesk had income tax expense of $57 million, relative to pre-tax income of $309 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024, and income tax expense of $60 million, relative to pre-tax income of $221 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023. Income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 2024, reflects U.S. and foreign tax expense, including withholding tax, reduced by tax-deductible stock-based compensation and the foreign derived intangibles tax benefit in the U.S. Autodesk regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, Autodesk considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company continues to retain a valuation allowance against Portugal, New Zealand, California, Massachusetts, and Michigan deferred tax assets and deferred tax assets that will convert to a capital loss upon reversal in Australia and U.S., as we do not have sufficient income of the appropriate character to benefit these deferred tax assets. Autodesk also established a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets in Australia as it is more-likely-than-not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of April 30, 2024, the Company had $267 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $224 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining $43 million would reduce our valuation allowance, if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits will immaterially decrease in the next twelve months for statute lapses. Signed into law on August 16, 2022 in the U.S., the Inflation Reduction Act contains many revisions to the Internal Revenue Code effective in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, including a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax. Autodesk continues to monitor the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on its consolidated financial statements. Signed into law on December 18, 2023 in Ireland, the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 provides legislation to implement tax principles arising from proposals made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development to establish a global minimum tax rate of 15%. The Company’s assessment of this legislation resulted in additional tax expense having a minimal impact to the consolidated financial statements. Other countries have enacted legislation or are actively considering changes to their tax law. The Company will continue to monitor proposed and enacted legislation for potential future impact on its consolidated financial statements.
