Income tax benefit (expense)	$ 10	[1]	$ (6)	$ 34	$ 14

[1] Income tax benefit for the three months ended November 2, 2013 includes a $16 million benefit related to the impairment of our investment in Best Buy Europe, partially offset by $(6) million of expense related to a tax allocation between continuing and discontinued operations. The fiscal 2014 effective tax rate for discontinued operations differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the tax allocation, restructuring charges and the impairment of our investment in Best Buy Europe. The restructuring charges and impairment generally included minimal related tax benefit. The deferred tax assets related to the restructuring charges generally resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance in an equal amount, while the investment impairment is generally not tax deductible.
