The Company's foreign taxes paid are high relative to foreign operating income and the Company's U.S. taxes paid are low relative to U.S. operating income due largely to the flow of funds among the Company's Subsidiaries around the world. As payments for services, management fees, license arrangements and royalties are made from the Company's foreign affiliates to its U.S. corporate headquarters, these payments often incur withholding and other forms of tax that are generally creditable for U.S. tax purposes. Therefore, these payments lead to increased foreign effective tax rates and lower U.S. effective tax rates. Variations occur in the Company's foreign and U.S. effective tax rates from year to year depending on several factors. These factors include the impact of global transfer prices, the timing and level of remittances from foreign affiliates, profits and losses in various markets, the valuation of deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. The principal components of deferred taxes are as follows (U.S. dollars in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |

At December 31, 2014, the Company had foreign operating loss carryforwards of $74.2 million for tax purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, $49.6 million of carryforwards will expire between 2015 and 2024, while $24.6 million do not expire. A valuation allowance has been placed on foreign operating loss carryforwards of $31.0 million. The valuation allowance primarily represents amounts for foreign operating loss carryforwards and unrealized foreign exchange losses for which it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary difference, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. When the Company determines that there is sufficient taxable income to utilize the net operating losses, the valuation will be released which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The components of deferred taxes, net on a jurisdiction basis are as follows (U.S. dollars in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |
Net current deferred tax assets |  | $ | 73,456 |  |  | $ | 40,840 |
Net noncurrent deferred tax assets |  |  | 5,174 |  |  |  | 15,128 |
Total net deferred tax assets |  |  | 78,630 |  |  |  | 55,968 |
Net current deferred tax liabilities |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | - |
Net noncurrent deferred tax liabilities |  |  | 13,952 |  |  |  | 16,017 |
Total net deferred tax liabilities |  |  | 13,953 |  |  |  | 16,017 |
Deferred taxes, net |  | $ | 64,677 |  |  | $ | 39,951 |
The Company is subject to regular audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. These audits may result in proposed assessments that may result in additional tax liabilities. The actual tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 compared to the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate is as follows:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |
Income taxes at statutory rate |  |  | 35.00 | % |  |  | 35.00 | % |  |  | 35.00 | %
Indefinitely invested earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries |  |  | – |  |  |  | (0.76 | ) |  |  | – |
Non-deductible expenses |  |  | 0.12 |  |  |  | 0.12 |  |  |  | 0.12 |
Controlled foreign corporation losses |  |  | – |  |  |  | – |  |  |  | 1.48 |
Other |  |  | 0.68 |  |  |  | 0.12 |  |  |  | 0.03 |
|  |  | 35.80 | % |  |  | 34.48 | % |  |  | 36.63 | %
The lower effective tax rate in 2013 compared to 2012 and 2014 was primarily attributable to indefinitely invested earnings of non-U.S. Subsidiaries. The effective tax rate in 2014 was also impacted by the foreign currency charge relating to Venezuela, for which a valuation allowance was recognized, offset by the re-measurement of Venezuela's books due to the highly inflationary accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP. The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of the Company's non-U.S. Subsidiaries held for indefinite reinvestment is approximately $50.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2014. If this amount were repatriated to the United States, the amount of incremental taxes would be approximately $5.3 million.
