The Company regularly reviews deferred tax assets for recoverability based upon projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the recorded deferred tax assets will be realized. Effective tax rate The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2021 was 23.2% as compared to 23.7% for the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the tax benefit related to the exercise of stock appreciation rights in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. Foreign tax effect As of August 28, 2021, unremitted foreign earnings, have been retained by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for indefinite reinvestment. If the Company were to repatriate those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company could be subject to immaterial withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Uncertain tax positions As of August 28, 2021 and August 29, 2020, there was $9.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $8.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company recognized interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. As of August 28, 2021 and August 29, 2020, the Company had accrued a total of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in interest and penalties, in its long-term accrued liabilities. For the years ended August 28, 2021, August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019 the Company recognized a nominal expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income related to interest and penalties. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
Balance at August 31, 2019 |  | $ | 7,668 |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 475 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | (1,389 | )
Statute expirations |  |  | (424 | )
Balance at August 29, 2020 |  |  | 6,330 |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 637 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | 3,552 |
Reduction for tax positions of prior years |  |  | (287 | )
Statute expirations |  |  | (911 | )
Balance at August 28, 2021 |  | $ | 9,321 |
The Company has a significant portion of its operations in the United States and Canada. It is required to file federal income tax returns as well as state income tax returns in a majority of the U.S. states and also in a number of Canadian provinces. At times, the Company is subject to audits in these jurisdictions, which typically are complex and can require several years to resolve. The final resolution of any such tax audits could result in either a reduction in the Company’s accruals or an increase in its income tax provision, both of which could have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations in any given period. All U.S. and Canadian federal income tax statutes have lapsed for filings up to and including fiscal years 2015 and 2013, respectively. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for periods prior to fiscal 2016. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.
