Incomes Taxes INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes during the 2024 and 2023 periods is primarily comprised of current and deferred tax expense in profitable cost-plus foreign jurisdictions, accruals for tax contingencies in foreign jurisdictions and benefits for the reversal of previously recorded foreign tax contingencies due to the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation. We recorded a benefit for the reversal of previously recorded foreign tax contingencies of $3 and $2 during the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As we do not believe that it is more likely than not that we will realize a benefit from our U.S., Canada, or China net deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, we continue to provide a full valuation allowance against essentially all of those assets, therefore, we do not incur significant U.S., China, or Canada income tax expense or benefit. We have not recorded a valuation allowance against our other net deferred tax assets in cost-plus jurisdictions, as we believe that it is more likely than not that we will realize a benefit from those assets.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of our uncertain tax positions was a liability of $378 and $376, respectively, as well as a contra deferred tax asset of $1,454 and $1,370, respectively. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is resolved by settlement or statute of limitation. Settlement of any particular positions could require the use of cash. If the uncertain tax positions we have accrued for are sustained by the taxing authorities in our favor, the reduction of the liability will reduce our effective tax rate. We reasonably expect reductions in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest and penalties of approximately $320 within the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitations. Of this amount, $243 is classified as a non-current liability, which will reduce our effective tax rate. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
