The variance in percentages for the components of the effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 and 2019 are primarily due to the ratio of foreign taxable losses to global taxable profits and lower income before income taxes in fiscal 2021.

Net deferred tax assets are attributed to the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, $34,037 and $25,972 were attributable to U.S. federal, $19,084 and $15,858 were attributed to state jurisdictions and $13,355 and $9,270 were attributed to foreign jurisdictions.

As of January 31, 2021, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $6,753 that expire from 2021 through 2031 and approximately $30,695 that do not expire. Certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $29,696 that expire from 2021 through 2041 and approximately $17,122 that do not expire. Certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had state credit carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $5,996 that expire from 2021 through 2031. As of January 31, 2021, the Company had full and partial valuation allowances for certain foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards and a partial valuation allowance against state credit carryforwards where it was uncertain the carryforwards would be utilized. The Company had no valuation allowance for certain other foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards where management believes it is more-likely-than-not the tax benefit of these carryforwards will be realized.

As of January 31, 2021, approximately $216,952 of cash and cash equivalents were held by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes have been provided. The Company has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries of approximately $379,089. Since such earnings have previously been subject to the one-time deemed repatriation transition tax required by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or other U.S. tax requirements on undistributed foreign earnings, any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings or the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of our foreign investments would generally be limited to foreign and state taxes. The Company continues to believe that certain foreign earnings are indefinitely reinvested and expects future U.S. cash generation to be sufficient to meet future U.S. cash needs.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate were $23,497 and $22,489 as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. During the years ended January 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized expense/(benefit) of $950, $1,038 and $449, respectively, related to interest and penalties. The Company accrued $2,810 and $1,860 for the payment of interest and penalties as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is under audit in certain foreign jurisdictions. Certain federal, foreign and state jurisdictions are subject to audit from fiscal 2010 to 2020. It is possible that a state or foreign examination may be resolved within 12 months. Due to the potential for resolution of federal and foreign audit and state examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next 12 months by a range of zero to $4,117.
