INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) was signed into law in the U.S. TCJA amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits and deductions for individuals and corporations. For corporations, TCJA reduces the federal tax rate from a maximum of 35.0 percent to a flat 21.0 percent rate and transitions from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. TCJA also adds many new provisions including changes to bonus depreciation, the deduction for executive compensation and interest expense, a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT) and a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income (FDII). We are assessing the impact of certain provisions, including the tax on GILTI, the BEAT and the deduction for FDII, which do not apply to the Company until fiscal 2019. This assessment includes the evaluation of our accounting election relative to GILTI as either a period cost or an adjustment to deferred tax assets or liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries for the new tax. The two material items that effect the Company for fiscal 2018 are the reduction in the tax rate and a one-time tax that is imposed on our unremitted foreign earnings (toll tax).
On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) that includes additional guidance allowing companies to use a measurement period, similar to that used in business combinations, to account for the impacts of TCJA in their financial statements. We have accounted for the impacts of TCJA to the extent a reasonable estimate could be made during the three months ended December 31, 2017. We will continue to refine our estimates throughout the measurement period, which will not extend beyond 12 months from the enactment of TCJA, or until the accounting is complete.
The U.S. federal tax rate reduction is effective as of January 1, 2018. As a June 30 fiscal year-end taxpayer, our 2018 fiscal year U.S. federal statutory tax rate is expected to be a blended rate of 28.1 percent. We expect our U.S. federal statutory tax rate to be 21.0 percent in 2019.
As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent under TCJA, we recorded a provisional reduction to our net deferred tax assets with a corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance prior to its release on December 31, 2017. The result of this reduction had no impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities are subject to further adjustments during the measurement period due to the complexity of determining our net deferred tax liability as of the enactment date. Some of the information necessary to determine the accounting impacts of the tax rate change includes final calculations related to our 2017 tax return as well as refining the analysis of which existing deferred balances at the enactment date will reverse in 2018 at the 28.1 percent tax rate and which deferred balances will reverse after 2018 at the 21.0 percent tax rate.
We have estimated the toll tax charge to be $77 million after available foreign tax credits. The toll tax charge consumed our entire U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward and other credit carryforwards, which represent a significant portion of our previously available deferred tax assets, and was offset by the release of the valuation allowance associated with these assets. As a result, we do not expect to make a cash payment associated with the toll charge. The toll tax charge is preliminary, and subject to finalization of collecting all information and analyzing the calculation in reasonable detail to complete the accounting.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we released a valuation allowance of $3.9 million that was previously recorded against our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. A benefit of $6.8 million would have been recorded in the provision for income taxes; however, because of a current period charge of $2.9 million due to an out of period adjustment, a $3.9 million benefit was recorded in the provision for income taxes. The valuation allowance release was driven by utilization of a significant portion of our deferred tax assets to satisfy the toll tax provision in TCJA. Along with expected full-year income in the U.S. in fiscal 2018, we anticipate our domestic deferred taxes to be in a net liability position by June 30, 2018.
We consider substantially all of the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. to be permanently reinvested. As a result of TCJA, which among other provisions allows for a 100% dividends received deduction from controlled foreign subsidiaries, we will re-evaluate our assertion with respect to permanent reinvestment. As part of this evaluation, we will consider our global working capital and capital investment requirements, among other considerations including the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if the non-U.S. subsidiaries distribute cash to the U.S. parent. If we determine that an entity should no longer remain subject to the permanent reinvestment assertion, we will accrue additional tax charges, including but not limited to state income taxes, withholding taxes and other relevant foreign taxes in the period the conclusion is determined. In accordance with SAB 118, we expect to complete our evaluation by December 22, 2018.
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were 29.3 percent and 50.9 percent, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2017 was 24.9 percent, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was not meaningful as the prior year loss before income taxes was negligible. The change in both periods was primarily driven by prior year U.S. losses not being tax-effected and current year U.S. income being subject to tax. This is the result of the valuation allowance, originally recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, being released in the current quarter.
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we identified an error related to the tax rate that had historically been used to calculate the deferred tax charge on intra-entity product transfers. This resulted in an overstatement of deferred tax assets of $8.2 million as of June 30, 2017. During the current quarter, $2.9 million of this amount was corrected in connection with the release of the U.S. valuation allowance. Therefore, the out of period adjustment recorded resulted in a further increase of $5.3 million to the provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017. The remaining balance related to this item has been reclassified and included in other current assets as of December 31, 2017. The impact to the effective tax rate was 8.9 percent and 4.9 percent for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. After evaluation, we determined that the impact of the adjustment was not material to the previously issued financial statements, nor are the out of period adjustments material to the estimated results of this fiscal year.
