Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The discrete items recorded in fiscal 2022 were not significant. The discrete items recorded in fiscal 2021 include a benefit of $1.7 million related to the release of a valuation allowance related to net operating loss carryforwards in a foreign jurisdiction that are now expected to be realizable. The Company has also recorded a valuation allowance of $0.8 million as of both August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to capital losses from business divestitures where the Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from the capital loss will not be realized. The remaining valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets in a certain foreign tax jurisdiction not subject to tax due to a free trade zone exemption. The Company does not intend to, and has not historically, repatriated earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. Thus, the Company has not provided a deferred income tax liability on these undistributed earnings that are indefinitely reinvested. The Company would recognize a deferred income tax liability if the Company were to determine that such earnings were no longer indefinitely reinvested. There are other taxes that may be incurred if the Company would repatriate earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would be incurred if the Company would repatriate earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company recognizes tax benefits only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. A reconciliation of changes in unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
|  | August 31, |
($ in thousands) |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of the year |  | $ | 724 |  |  | $ | 1,141 |
Increases for positions taken in current year |  |  | 158 |  |  |  | — |
Decreases for positions taken in prior years |  |  | — |  |  |  | (36 | )
Reduction resulting from lapse of applicable statute of limitations |  |  | (308 | ) |  |  | (287 | )
Decreases for settlements with tax authorities |  |  | — |  |  |  | (94 | )
Unrecognized tax benefits at end of the year |  | $ | 574 |  |  | $ | 724 |
The net amount of unrecognized tax benefits at both August 31, 2022 and 2021 that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate was $0.5 million. The Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.3 million of interest and penalties recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings for the years ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Total accrued liabilities for interest and penalties included in the unrecognized tax benefits liability were $0.4 million and $0.8 million for each of the years ended August 31, 2022 and 2021. While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations, the Company does not expect this change to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by US federal and most state tax authorities for tax years prior to fiscal 2019. Other major jurisdictions where we conduct business generally have statutes of limitations ranging from three to six years.
