14. Income Taxes
In calculating the provision for income taxes, Adient uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based on changes in facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, Adient’s income tax expense was $21 million equating to an effective tax rate of (233)%. The three month income tax expense was higher than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances and foreign tax rate differentials. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, Adient’s income tax expense was $52 million equating to an effective tax rate of 23%. The income tax expense was higher than the statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to foreign tax rate differentials and the inability to record a tax benefit for losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances. Valuation Allowances As a result of the Company's first quarter fiscal 2022 analysis of the realizability of its worldwide deferred tax assets, and after considering tax planning initiatives and other positive and negative evidence, Adient determined that no changes to valuation allowances were required. Adient reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or combined group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. All of the factors that Adient considers in evaluating whether and when to establish or release all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance involve significant judgment. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to Adient's valuation allowances may be necessary. Uncertain Tax Positions At December 31, 2021, Adient had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $490 million. If recognized, $128 million of Adient's unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at December 31, 2021 was approximately $20 million (net of tax benefit). The interest and penalties accrued for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $2 million. Adient recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Impacts of Tax Legislation and Change in Statutory Tax Rates Tax legislation was adopted during the three months ended December 31, 2021 in various jurisdictions, which did not have a material impact on Adient’s consolidated financial statements. Other Tax Matters During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, Adient recognized a $3 million tax benefit related to the write-off of deferred tax liabilities on Brazil indirect tax credits as a result of a favorable court ruling. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, Adient recognized an $8 million pre-tax gain related to Brazil indirect tax recoveries. The tax expense associated with this gain was $3 million
