Government Subsidies	15. Government Subsidies We receive grants from certain governments in exchange for compliance with certain conditions relating to our activities in a specific jurisdiction. Grants can be structured to encourage investment, job creation, job retention, employee training, and other related activities. We recognize government grants when there is reasonable assurance that we will comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant is received or is probable of receipt and the amount is determinable. Government grants are recorded as a reduction to the related expense to which the grant relates in our Consolidated Statement of Income. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in the U.S. in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carrybacks, and other areas. The payroll tax deferral required that the deferred payroll taxes be paid over two years, with the first half, or $6.2 million, paid in December 2021 and the other half paid in December 2022. Other countries have enacted legislation similar to the CARES Act to provide relief and stimulus measures to assist companies in mitigating the financial impact from COVID-19 and supporting their employees. In fiscal 2023 and 2022, our foreign subsidiaries recognized subsidies of $1.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, from foreign governments which have been deducted from the related expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. We have a government grant that is used to support job training and workforce development costs at one of our U.S. airframe maintenance facilities. For this grant, we recognized contra-expense within Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2023, we recognized contra-expense within Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
