Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax provision of $1.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily attributable to foreign income taxes resulting from our foreign subsidiaries' contribution to pretax income, withholding taxes, changes in valuation allowance, and deferred tax expense on amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to the foreign withholding taxes, foreign income taxes resulting from the foreign subsidiaries' contribution to pretax income, basis difference in convertible debt and effects of permanent differences.

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 March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $6.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had accrued $6.2 million and $6.4 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 settlement of ongoing foreign audits.
