All of the $13.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalties, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of income taxes in our consolidated statements of income. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a $0.2 million addition to unrecognized tax benefits and there was a $0.5 million reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations during the first quarter of 2013. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As at December 31, 2013 the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries were subject to a federal income tax examination by the IRS for 2009 and an employment tax examination for 2010 and 2011. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to federal income tax examination by the IRS for years 2009 onwards. The Company does not currently anticipate that adjustments, if any, arising out of this tax audit would result in a material change to its financial position as at December 31, 2013. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including France (2012 onwards), Germany (2010 onwards), Switzerland (2012 onwards) and the United Kingdom (2011 onwards). The sources of income before income taxes were as follows:
(in millions) |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
Domestic |  | $ | 10.0 |  |  | $ | 5.6 |  |  | $ | (42.6 | )

|  | $ | 92.8 |  |  | $ | 93.3 |  |  | $ | 50.2 |
The components of income tax charges are summarized as follows:

Cash payments for income taxes were $21.1 million, $13.1 million and $18.1 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate because of the factors indicated below:

Significant factors affecting the variation to statutory rate are set out above and include foreign income inclusions net of foreign tax credits. The mix of taxable profits generated in the different geographical localities in which the Group operates had a significant positive impact on the effective tax rate in 2013. Details of deferred tax assets and liabilities are analyzed as follows:

Details of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance are as follows:
(in millions) |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
At January 1 |  | $ | 0.0 |  |  | $ | (7.5 | ) |  | $ | (10.8 | )
Change in foreign tax credits |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 7.5 |  |  |  | 3.3 |
At December 31 |  | $ | 0.0 |  |  | $ | 0.0 |  |  | $ | (7.5 | )
As a result of the Company’s assessment of its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013, the Company considers it more likely than not that no valuation allowance is required for $0.3 million (2012 – $0.3 million) of its net operating loss carry forwards and that no valuation allowance is required against its foreign tax credit carry forwards (2012 – $0.0 million). The net operating loss carry forwards arose in the U.S. in the prior periods as a result of state tax losses. It is expected that sufficient taxable profits will be generated against which these net operating loss carry forwards can be relieved prior to their expiration in 2021. The foreign tax credit carry forwards arose in the U.S. in prior periods. The Company has determined that future foreign income inclusions will be sufficient to utilize all of the $4.5 million (2012 – $5.5 million) of the foreign tax credit carry forwards prior to their expiration in 2017 and 2021 and therefore no valuation allowance is required. Should it be determined in the future that it is no longer more likely than not that these assets will be realized, a valuation allowance would be required, and the Company’s operating results would be adversely affected during the period in which such a determination would be made. The Company is in a position to control whether or not to repatriate foreign earnings and we intend to permanently reinvest earnings overseas to fund overseas subsidiaries. No taxes have been provided for the unremitted earnings of our overseas subsidiaries as any tax basis differences relating to investments in these overseas subsidiaries are considered to be permanent in duration. The amount of unremitted earnings at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $605 million and $717 million, respectively. If these earnings are remitted, additional taxes could result after offsetting foreign income taxes paid although the calculation of the additional taxes is not practical at this time.
