INCOME TAXES | 12. INCOME TAXES ​ Our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate is affected by the geographical composition of pre-tax income which includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates, conditional reduced tax rates, and other events that are not consistent from period to period, such as changes in ‘income tax laws. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act” or “IRA”) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The IRA provides for investment in clean energy, promotes reductions in carbon emissions, and extends select Affordable Care Act premium reductions. The IRA is paid for through the implementation of a 15% corporate minimum tax on corporations with over $1 billion of financial statement income, budget increases for the Internal Revenue Service, an excise tax on stock repurchases, and changes to Medicare rules. We are currently evaluating the expected impact of the IRA on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. ​ We recorded income tax expense during the nine months of fiscal 2022 of $3.0 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2021. Our effective tax rate for the nine months of fiscal 2022 was 31%, compared to 36% in the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in geographic mix of income and loss that includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates, various discrete tax items, and changes in income tax laws to address the unfavorable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. ​ Our unrecognized tax benefits were $204,000 as of July 31, 2022, and $198,000 as of October 31, 2021, and in each case included accrued interest. ​ We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of income tax expense. As of July 31, 2022, the gross amount of interest accrued, reported in Accrued expenses, was approximately $36,000, which did not include the federal tax benefit of interest deductions. ​ We file U.S. federal and state income tax returns, as well as tax returns in several foreign jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations with respect to unrecognized tax benefits will expire between August 2022 and September 2024. ​ Currently, our subsidiaries in Taiwan and Germany are under tax audit for fiscal year 2018 and fiscal years 2017 through 2020, respectively.
