As a result of the acquisition of Xilinx, the Company recorded $4.3 billion of net deferred tax liabilities primarily on the excess of book basis over the tax basis of the acquired intangible assets, including $857 million of GILTI net deferred tax liability.

Additionally, as the result of the new R&D capitalization tax law effective in 2022, the capitalized amounts resulted in increased current year taxable income, but which are deductible as amortized in future periods. Therefore, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset for the capitalized R&D expenditures.

The movement in the deferred tax valuation allowance was as follows:

	December 31, 2022		December 25, 2021		December 26, 2020
	(In millions)
Balance at beginning of year	$	1,735	$	1,576	$	2,867

Balance at end of year	$	2,078	$	1,735	$	1,576

*	Amounts recorded in 2020 reflect release of valuation allowances.
+	The net recoveries for all were primarily related to net originating deferred tax assets and newly generated tax credits.

Under current U.S. tax law, the impact of future distributions of undistributed earnings that are indefinitely reinvested are anticipated to be subject to withholding taxes from local jurisdictions and non-conforming U.S. state jurisdictions. The amount of cumulative undistributed earnings that are permanently reinvested that could be subject to withholding taxes are $460 million as of December 31, 2022.
