Income Taxes

Accounting for income taxes for interim periods generally requires the provision for income taxes to be determined by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to income or loss before income taxes, adjusted for discrete items, if any, for the reporting period. The Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.

The Company recorded income tax expense of nil and $0.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income tax expense consists primarily of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. Due to the Company’s history of losses in the United States, a full valuation allowance on substantially all of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, research and development tax credits, and other book versus tax differences, was maintained.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) was enacted by the United States on March 11, 2021. The ARPA did not have a material impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended October 31, 2021
