Income Taxes
In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act retroactively reinstated and extended the controlled foreign corporation look-through rule, which provides for the exclusion of certain foreign earnings from U.S. federal taxation from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. The impact of the Act has been accounted for in the period of enactment. As a result, the Company recognized a related discrete tax benefit of $29 during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company expects to reach a settlement agreement with tax authorities in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of negotiations related to various intercompany transactions. Upon signing of the final agreement with the tax authorities, the Company expects to release approximately $33 of unrecognized tax benefits. The tax benefit from the release will be offset by an increase in the valuation allowance in this foreign jurisdiction. Consequently, as a result of the expected settlement in the third quarter of 2013, the Company expects to reverse a domestic deferred tax asset related to these various intercompany transactions that will result in a tax expense of approximately $57.
