The Company weighs all available evidence, both positive and negative, to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets by jurisdiction. The Company has concluded that it is necessary to recognize a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets as of June 26, 2022. As of June 27, 2021, the U.S. valuation allowance was $292.6 million. For the fiscal year ended June 26, 2022, the Company increased the U.S. valuation allowance by $46.6 million primarily due to an increase in deferred tax assets related to the current year domestic loss and tax credits generated offset by the current year increase in the domestic deferred tax liability on property and equipment, net.
As of June 27, 2021, the Luxembourg valuation allowance was $121.8 million. As a result of the LED Business Divestiture and the liquidation of the Company’s common stock ownership interest in ENNOSTAR, the Company began reviewing its legal entity structure, including its Luxembourg holding company, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company concluded its due diligence and commenced a plan to restructure its Luxembourg holding company, resulting in the recognition of $7.3 million of income tax expense. The $7.3 million of income tax expense represents the net effect of $129.1 million of income tax expense generated from taxable income as a result of the restructuring plan offset by a full release of the valuation allowance against the Company’s Luxembourg net operating loss deferred tax assets, which totaled $121.8 million. As of June 26, 2022, the Company does not have a valuation allowance against Luxembourg deferred tax assets.
As of June 26, 2022, the Company had approximately $2.4 million of foreign net operating loss carryovers, of which less than $0.1 million are offset by a valuation allowance. Of the Company's foreign net operating loss carryovers, $2.4 million have no carry forward limitation. As of June 26, 2022, the Company had approximately $1.5 billion of federal net operating loss carryovers and $313.4 million of state net operating loss carryovers which are fully offset by a valuation allowance. Additionally, the Company had $83.9 million of federal and $1.2 million of state income tax credit carryforwards which are fully offset by a valuation allowance. The federal and state net operating loss carryovers will begin to expire in fiscal 2038 and fiscal 2023, respectively. The federal and state income tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in fiscal 2031 and fiscal 2023, respectively.
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 27, 2021, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $7.4 million. During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2022, the Company recognized a $0.2 million decrease to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits due to statute expiration. As a result, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of June 26, 2022 was $7.2 million. If any portion of this $7.2 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 $0.4 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months as a result of statute requirements or settlement with tax authorities.
The following is a tabular reconciliation of the Company’s change in uncertain tax positions:

The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense (benefit) line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits recognized in the consolidated statements of operations totaled less than $0.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 26, 2022, June 27, 2021, and June 28, 2020. The Company accrued less than $0.1 million for interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021.
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 2017. For U.S. state tax returns, the Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2018. For foreign purposes, the Company is generally no longer subject to examination for tax periods prior to 2012. Certain carryforward tax attributes generated in prior years remain subject to examination, adjustment and recapture.
The Company provides for income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries’ earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. As of June 26, 2022, the Company has approximately $206.3 million of undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company has determined that $190.3 million of the $206.3 million of undistributed foreign earnings are expected to be repatriated in the foreseeable future. The Company expects to incur $7.4 million of foreign income taxes upon repatriation of the $190.3 million foreign earnings. As of June 26, 2022, the Company has not provided income taxes on the remaining undistributed foreign earnings of $16.0 million as the Company continues to maintain its intention to reinvest these earnings in foreign operations indefinitely. If, at a later date, these earnings were repatriated to the United States, the Company would be required to pay approximately $0.3 million in taxes on these amounts.
