INCOME TAXES Income Taxes
The Company expects to repatriate a portion of its foreign earnings based on increased net sales growth driving additional capital requirements domestically, cash requirements for potential acquisitions and to implement certain tax strategies. The Company currently expects to repatriate approximately $8.0 million of foreign earnings in the future. All other unremitted foreign earnings are expected to remain permanently reinvested for planned fixed assets purchases and improvements in foreign locations.
Repatriations of cash will generally be tax-free in the U.S. However, withholding taxes in China may still apply to any such future repatriations. Management has not changed its indefinite investment assertions with regard to the portion of accumulated earnings and profits in China that may be repatriated in the future. Accordingly, management estimates that future repatriations of cash from China may result in approximately $0.8 million of withholding tax. There would be no offsetting foreign tax credits in the U.S. and as such, this potential liability is a direct cost associated with actual repatriations. Withholding taxes will not apply to future repatriations from Mexico or Vietnam.
The Company has available approximately $8.7 million of gross federal research and development tax credits as of September 26, 2020. ASC 740 requires the Company to recognize in its financial statements uncertainties in tax positions taken that may not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Accordingly, as of September 26, 2020, the Company has recorded $2.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits associated with these federal tax credits, resulting in a net deferred tax benefit of approximately $5.8 million.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company does not expect that the NOL carryback provision of the CARES Act will result in a material cash benefit. In addition, the CARES Act contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. This modification (in connection with related modifications included in final regulations issued in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021) would increase the allowable interest expense deduction of the Company and result in less taxable income for fiscal years 2020 and 2021, but is not expected to have a material impact on the provision for income taxes. Also, under the CARES Act, AMT credits not previously refunded for the 2018 tax year are refundable in the 2019 taxable year rather than in years 2019-2021, and taxpayers can elect to claim 100% of the AMT credits in the first taxable year beginning in 2018 by applying for a tentative refund claim on or before December 31, 2020. The Company made this election by applying for a tentative refund claim in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impacts of other aspects of the CARES Act, and at this time the Company does not believe they will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
