Income Taxes
The variation between the Company's effective income tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35% is due to a percentage of the Company's projected income for the full year being derived from international locations with lower tax rates than the U.S. and the impact of tax credits available in the current year. A change in the mix of pretax income of the Company's various tax jurisdictions can have a material impact on the Company's periodic effective tax rate.
U.S. GAAP requires a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is cumulatively more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
As of June 28, 2015, the Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $17.8 million. During the three months ended September 27, 2015, the Company recognized a $0.6 million increase to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertainty regarding intercompany transactions recently challenged by the Italian tax authority. As a result, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 27, 2015 was $18.4 million. If any portion of this $18.4 million is recognized, the Company will then include that portion in the computation of its effective tax rate. Although the ultimate timing of the resolution and/or closure of audits is highly uncertain, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that $0.2 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months as a result of statute requirements.
The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax returns. For U.S. federal purposes, the Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2012. For U.S. state tax returns, the Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2011. For foreign purposes, the Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for tax periods 2005 and prior. Certain carryforward tax attributes generated in prior years remain subject to examination and adjustment. The Company is currently under audit by the Italian Revenue Agency for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
On September 18, 2015, North Carolina enacted a single sales apportionment factor that will be phased in over three years starting in fiscal 2017. The use of a single sales apportionment factor is expected to reduce the Company’s future taxable income in North Carolina. As a result, the Company concluded that it is likely that $2.3 million of its total $3.9 million of North Carolina income tax credits will expire unused. The Company recorded a $1.5 million valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset, representing the $2.3 million expiring tax credits net of federal benefit, resulting in an additional $1.5 million of income tax expense during the three months ended September 27, 2015.
