The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 imposed a U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) that is earned by certain foreign affiliates owned by a U.S. shareholder. The computation of GILTI is generally intended to impose tax on the earnings of a foreign corporation that are deemed to exceed a certain threshold return relative to the underlying business investment. In accordance with guidance issued by FASB, the Company made a policy election to treat future taxes related to GILTI as a current period expense in the reporting period in which the tax is incurred. Deferred income taxes are provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries in the period in which the Company determines it no longer intends to permanently reinvest such earnings outside the United States. The Company expects to permanently reinvest the earnings from its wholly-owned Brazilian and UK subsidiaries, and accordingly, has not provided deferred taxes on the subsidiaries’ undistributed net earnings or basis differences. The Company believes that the tax liability that would be incurred upon repatriation of the earnings from its Brazilian and UK subsidiaries is immaterial at December 31, 2021. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are recognized in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the annual effective income tax rate. We do not expect any significant amount of this liability to be paid in the next twelve months. Accordingly, the balance of $0.9 million as of December 31, 2021 is included in other long-term liabilities. Changes in the Company’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were as follows (in thousands):
|  | December 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Balance at the beginning of year |  | $ | 993 |  |  | $ | 681 |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 94 |  |  |  | 134 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | 23 |  |  |  | 286 |
Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations |  |  | (309 | ) |  |  | (108 | )
Balance at the end of year |  | $ | 801 |  |  | $ | 993 |
We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for interest and penalties, net of tax benefits. During the years 2021, 2020 and 2019, we reduced the liability by $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for interest and penalties due to lapse of statute of limitations. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $0.2 million accrued for interest and penalties, net of tax benefit. We anticipate that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.3 million within the next twelve months due to the closure of tax years by expiration of the statute of limitations and audit settlements related to various state tax filing positions. The earliest year open to federal examinations is 2018 and significant state examinations is 2015.
