Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $3.9 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily attributable to changes in state and foreign income taxes resulting from fluctuations in the foreign subsidiaries’ contribution to pretax income, withholding taxes and effects of permanent differences. The tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was reduced by benefits realized from internal restructuring during the period.
Due to uncertainty as to the realization of benefits from the Company's U.S. and certain international net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has a full valuation allowance reserved against such net deferred tax assets. The Company intends to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on certain jurisdictions' net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $6.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The net increase in the liability during 2016 was primarily attributable to reserves for tax positions taken by one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions may significantly decrease within the next 12 months. This change may be the result of ongoing audits or the expiration of federal and state statutes of limitations for the assessment of taxes.
