On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. Among other things, this legislation provides for a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on certain large corporations, imposes a 1% excise tax on qualifying

stock buybacks for transactions occurring after December 31, 2022, and provides for certain energy-related tax credits. We have evaluated the relevant provisions of the Act and do not expect them to have a material impact on our tax provision.

Under the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” domestic corporations who are U.S. exporters with no foreign operations may be eligible for a deduction under the foreign derived intangible income (FDII) provisions. We qualify for this deduction and recognized a current cash tax benefit of $.1 million in each of 2020, 2021 and 2022. See also Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The components of the net deferred tax liability are summarized below.
