Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law, which contains several income tax provisions, as well as other measures, aimed at assisting businesses impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including permissible net operating losses ("NOLs") carrybacks up to five years, changes in business deductions limitations, and deferral of Social Security withholdings. The Company applied the NOL carryback provision of the CARES Act with respect to its estimated NOL for fiscal year 2021 to years that had higher enacted tax rates. The Company also applied the deferral of Social Security withholdings in accordance with the CARES Act; 50% of these deferred withholdings were due and paid by December 31, 2021, with the remainder due December 31, 2022. Effective August 1, 2019, the Company elected to revoke the indefinite reinvestment of foreign unremitted earnings position set forth by ASC 740-30-25-17 for multiple foreign subsidiaries. As a result of this election, the Company recorded a tax withholding expense imposed by the India Income Tax Department of $240,000 and $226,000 for the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company's accounting policy with respect to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") tax rules is that GILTI will be treated as a periodic charge in the year in which it arises. The Company had no tax expense related to GILTI for the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. Income tax expense consisted of the following:

The Company is required to evaluate the realization of the deferred tax asset and any requirement for a valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740-10-30-2(b). The Company evaluates all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the amount of any required valuation allowance. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $6,901,000 was recorded in the period ended April 30, 2022 based on ASC 740-10-30-18. This guidance provides that the future realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary difference or carryforward ultimately depends on sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryback or carryforward period available under the tax law. At April 30, 2022, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards in the amount of $638,000, which are subject to a full valuation allowance, and which begin to expire in 2028. The Company files federal, state and local tax returns with statutes of limitation generally ranging from 3 to 4 years. The Company is generally no longer subject to federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2018 or state and local tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2017. Tax returns filed by the Company's significant foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to statutes of limitations of 3 to 7 years and are generally no longer subject to examination for years prior to fiscal year 2016. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.
