Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year presentation to conform to current year presentation. The components of deferred income tax expense (benefit) arise from various temporary differences and relate to items included in the consolidated statements of operations as well as items recognized in other comprehensive earnings. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 26, 2021 and December 27, 2020 are:
(In millions) | 2021 |  | 2020
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year presentation to conform to current year presentation. The most significant amount of the loss and credit carryforwards relate to tax attributes of the acquired eOne entities that historically operated at losses in certain jurisdictions. At December 26, 2021, the Company has loss and credit carryforwards of $175.7 million, which is a decrease of $45.9 million from $221.6 million at December 27, 2020. Loss and credit carryforwards as of December 26, 2021 relate primarily to the U.S. and Canada. The Canadian loss carryforwards expire at various dates from 2031 to 2041. Some U.S. federal and state loss and credit carryforwards expire at various dates throughout 2022 while others have an indefinite carryforward period. The recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including taxable income in prior carryback years, reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. To the extent the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is generally established. To the extent that a valuation allowance was established and it is subsequently determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recovered, the change in the valuation allowance is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The Company has a valuation allowance for certain net deferred tax assets at December 26, 2021 of $171.2 million, which is a decrease of $3.0 million from $174.2 million at December 27, 2020. The valuation allowance pertains to certain U.S. state and international loss and credit carryforwards, some of which have no expiration and others that expire beginning in 2022, and other net deferred tax assets. The decrease in the valuation allowance is primarily due to the realization of certain net operating losses resulting from tax planning during the year. At December 26, 2021 and December 27, 2020, the Company’s net deferred income taxes are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:
(In millions) | 2021 |  | 2020
Other assets | 132.1 |  |  | 137.6 |
Other liabilities | (147.9) |  |  | (154.8) |
Net deferred income taxes | $ | (15.8) |  |  | (17.2) |
We previously considered the earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, recorded no deferred income taxes. However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") enacted on December 22, 2017 gave the Company more flexibility to manage cash globally. The Company still has significant cash needs outside the United States and continues to consistently monitor and analyze its global working capital and cash requirements. However, we intend to repatriate substantially all of our accumulated foreign earnings when appropriate. As of 2021, we have recorded $3.4 million of a foreign withholding and U.S. state income tax liability. The Company has not finalized the timing of any actual cash distributions or the specific amounts and therefore we could still be subject to some additional foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state taxes. We will record these additional tax effects, if any, in the period that we complete our analysis and are able to make a reasonable estimate. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding potential interest and penalties, for the fiscal years ended December 26, 2021, December 27, 2020, and December 29, 2019 is as follows:
(In millions) | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Balance at beginning of year | $ | 67.8 |  |  | 36.7 |  |  | 46.1 |
Gross increases in prior period tax positions | 0.6 |  |  | 12.7 |  |  | 2.0 |
Gross increase from acquisition | — |  |  | 13.7 |  |  | — |
Gross decreases in prior period tax positions | (12.0) |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Gross increases in current period tax positions | 4.6 |  |  | 11.7 |  |  | 4.2 |
Decreases related to settlements with tax authorities | (2.7) |  |  | — |  |  | (12.0) |
Decreases from the expiration of statute of limitations | (7.7) |  |  | (7.0) |  |  | (3.6) |
Balance at end of year | $ | 50.6 |  |  | 67.8 |  |  | 36.7 |
Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 26, 2021, December 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, were $50.6 million, $67.8 million, and $36.7 million, respectively, and are recorded within other liabilities, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. If recognized, these tax benefits would have affected our income tax provision for fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019, by approximately $46.0 million, $57.0 million, and $36.0 million, respectively. During 2021, 2020, and 2019, the Company recognized $2.6 million, $3.7 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, of potential interest and penalties, which are included as a component of income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At December 26, 2021, December 27, 2020, and December 29, 2019, the Company had accrued potential interest and penalties of $7.3 million, $11.6 million, and $5.5 million, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state and international jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is regularly audited by U.S. federal, state and local and international tax authorities in various tax jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2012. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. state or local and non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major jurisdictions for years before 2014. The Company is currently under income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service and in several U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $0.0 million - $5.0 million in gross unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary within the coming year as a result of expected tax return settlements and lapse of statute of limitations. In May 2019, a public referendum held in Switzerland approved the Swiss Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF) proposals previously approved by the Swiss Parliament. The Swiss tax reform measures were effective on January 1, 2020. Changes in tax reform include the abolishment of preferential tax regimes for holding companies, domicile companies and mixed companies at the cantonal level. The enacted changes in Swiss federal and cantonal tax, including cantonal transitional provisions adopted in 2021, were not material to the Company’s financial statements.
