The Inflation Reduction Act (the “Act”) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The Act introduced a new 15% corporate minimum tax for certain large corporations, effective at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2024 and it enacted a 1% excise tax on the value of share repurchases, net of new share issuances, after December 31, 2022. These provisions, as well as other corporate tax changes included in the Act, have not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements in the foreseeable future.

Per U.S. GAAP, foreign withholding taxes are provided on unremitted foreign earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested at the time the earnings are generated. The Company regularly reviews and assesses whether there are any changes to its indefinite reinvestment assertion. None of the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries were indefinitely reinvested. As a result, the Company is providing foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of all foreign subsidiaries where applicable. These withholding taxes had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results.

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The federal statute of limitations has expired for all tax years through June 30, 2015. Various income tax returns in state and foreign jurisdictions are currently in the process of examination.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the total balance of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $3 and $2, respectively. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions included in income tax expense resulted in an expense of $1 in fiscal year 2024 and a net benefit of $0 in both fiscal years 2023 and 2022.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits:

	2024		2023		2022
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year	$	17	$	17	$	21

Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
