The Company does not permanently reinvest its earnings from certain foreign jurisdictions and has accrued for foreign tax withholdings of $0.9 million on its unremitted earnings as of December 31, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a net decrease of $104.9 million of its valuation allowance. This decrease was primarily related to the reversal of valuation allowances on domestic deferred tax assets. After considering recent significant positive evidence, including a consistent pattern of earnings in the past three years, as well as forecasted future earnings, it was determined that a valuation allowance was no longer required for certain deferred tax assets primarily recorded on tax credits and net operating losses in U.S. jurisdictions. The Company’s remaining valuation allowance of approximately $11.1 million relates primarily to state and local, and certain foreign jurisdiction tax attributes for which the Company could not conclude were realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. federal research and development credits of $36.5 million that will expire between 2023 and 2042. The Company also has $8.7 million of foreign tax credits that expire in 2027. Additionally, the Company has state and local NOL carryforwards of approximately $59.3 million (a net deferred tax asset of $4.1 million, net of federal tax benefits and before the valuation allowance) that will expire between 2023 and 2041. Finally, the Company has state credits of $32.6 million, some of which are indefinite and others that will expire between 2024 and 2037.

A roll-forward of the Company’s uncertain tax positions for all U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax jurisdictions was as follows:

If the amount of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022 were recognized, the Company’s income tax provision would decrease by $13.5 million. The gross amount of interest and penalties accrued in income tax payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. All material consolidated federal income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2017 subject to subsequent utilization of NOLs generated in such years. All material state and local income tax matters have been reviewed through 2012. The majority of the Company’s foreign jurisdictions have been reviewed through 2015. The Company’s major foreign jurisdictions’ statutes of limitation remain open with respect to the tax years 2015 through 2021 for Germany, 2017 through 2021 for China, 2021 for Taiwan, and 2020 and 2021 for Singapore. The Company does not anticipate that its uncertain tax position will change significantly within the next twelve months subject to the completion of the ongoing tax audits and any resultant settlement.
