ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2012, we amended certain prior year U.S. federal income tax filings and claimed $31Ìýmillion of additional U.S. foreign tax credits. Due to uncertainty regarding our ability to utilize these credits before they were to expire in 2015, we established a partial valuation allowance of $21Ìýmillion against the incremental deferred tax asset.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2013, we repatriated a significant amount of foreign earnings to the U.S., which included bringing onshore certain U.S. foreign tax credits. The foreign tax credits brought onshore significantly exceeded the amount needed to offset the cash tax impact of the dividend. A full valuation allowance was placed on the remaining foreign tax credits since it was more likely than not that the credits would expire unused due to a shortage of foreign source income for income tax purposes. In early 2014, the amount of foreign tax credits brought onshore was adjusted downward by $10Ìýmillion, to $104Ìýmillion, which was fully offset by a valuation allowance.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAfter extensive research and analysis, in September 2014, we made certain elections and filed amended U.S. tax returns for tax years 2008 through 2012, along with our original U.S. tax return for tax year 2013. These new tax elections and amended tax returns allowed us to utilize U.S. foreign tax credits. The net result was $104Ìýmillion of income tax benefit recognized during 2014 for the release of the associated valuation allowance, including a discrete income tax benefit of $94Ìýmillion in the third quarter of 2014.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIncluded in the non-U.S. deferred tax expense are income tax benefits of $7Ìýmillion in 2014 and $22Ìýmillion in 2013 for losses from continuing operations for certain jurisdictions with valuation allowances to the extent that income was recorded in other comprehensive income in that same jurisdiction. The benefit in 2014 was largely attributable to the U.K and the benefit in 2013 was largely attributable to Switzerland. In both years, foreign currency gains and changes in pension related items resulted in income in other comprehensive income where we have a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset. An offsetting income tax expense was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe operate in over 40 non-U.S. tax jurisdictions with no specific country earning a predominant amount of our off-shore earnings. The vast majority of these countries have income tax rates that are lower than the U.S. statutory rate. The average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax losses was greater than the average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax income, resulting in a net benefit as compared to the U.S. statutory rate. For the year ended DecemberÌý31, 2014, the tax rate differential resulted in lower tax expense of $7Ìýmillion, reflected in the reconciliation above.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn certain non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, our U.S.ÌýGAAP functional currency is different than the local tax currency. As a result, foreign exchange will always result in an impact to tax expense. For 2014, this resulted in a $7Ìýmillion tax benefit, as reflected in the reconciliation above.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2012, we were granted a tax holiday for the period from JanuaryÌý1, 2012 through DecemberÌý31, 2016 with respect to certain income from Pigments products manufactured in Malaysia. We are required to make certain investments in order to enjoy the benefits of the tax holiday and we intend to make these investments.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe components of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes were as follows (dollars in millions):

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe have gross NOLs of $3,411Ìýmillion in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. While the majority of the non-U.S. NOLs have no expiration date, $1,174Ìýmillion have a limited life (of which $910Ìýmillion are subject to a valuation allowance) and $124Ìýmillion are scheduled to expire in 2015 (all of which are subject to a valuation allowance). We had $14Ìýmillion of gross NOLs expire unused in 2014 (all of which were subject to a valuation allowance).

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIncluded in the $3,411Ìýmillion of gross non-U.S. NOLs is $877Ìýmillion attributable to our Luxembourg entities. As of DecemberÌý31, 2014, there is a valuation allowance of $209Ìýmillion against these net tax-effected NOLs of $255Ìýmillion. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the benefits of these losses, we have reduced the related deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed each period on a tax jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cyclicality of businesses and cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Our judgments regarding valuation allowances are also influenced by the costs and risks associated with any tax planning idea.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2014, we released valuation allowances of $111Ìýmillion and established valuation allowances of $3Ìýmillion. In the U.S. we released $94Ìýmillion of valuation allowance on U.S. foreign tax credits as a result of making certain tax elections and filing amended U.S. tax returns and in Luxembourg we released a valuation allowance on $6Ìýmillion of certain net deferred tax assets as a result of significant changes in estimated future taxable income resulting from increased intercompany receivables and, therefore, increased interest income in Luxembourg, our primary treasury center outside of the U.S. We established a valuation allowance of $3Ìýmillion on certain net deferred tax assets in India as a result of closing operations in one legal entity which will more likely than not result in the loss of its net operating losses.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2013, we established valuation allowances of $95Ìýmillion primarily on U.S. foreign tax credits as a result of insufficient foreign source income and we released valuation allowances on $16Ìýmillion of certain net deferred tax assets as a result of significant changes in estimated future taxable income resulting from increased intercompany receivables and, therefore, increased interest income.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2012, we released valuation allowances of $24Ìýmillion on a portion of our net deferred tax assets in China, in certain U.S. states and in Luxembourg, and we established valuation allowances of $23Ìýmillion on certain net deferred tax assets in the U.S., India and Indonesia. Primarily as a result of a cumulative history of operating profits, we released the above noted valuation allowances in China and certain U.S. state tax jurisdictions. A partial valuation allowance release was recognized in Luxembourg for $12Ìýmillion as a result of significant changes in estimated future taxable income resulting from increased intercompany debt and, therefore, increased interest income in Luxembourg.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýUncertainties regarding expected future income in certain jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions and result in additional valuation allowances in future periods, or, in the case of the unexpected pre-tax earnings, the release of valuation allowances in future periods.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe following is a summary of changes in the valuation allowance (dollars in millions):

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs of DecemberÌý31, 2014 and 2013, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $36Ìýmillion and $78Ìýmillion, respectively.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2014, 2013, and 2012, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense of $3Ìýmillion, $9Ìýmillion and $5Ìýmillion, for each period. Additional decreases in unrecognized tax benefits were offset by cash settlements or by a decrease in net deferred tax assets and, therefore, did not affect income tax expense.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn accordance with our accounting policy, we continue to recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe conduct business globally and, as a result, we file income tax returns in U.S. federal, various U.S. state and various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions:

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýCertain of our U.S. and non-U.S. income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities and the amounts ultimately agreed upon in resolution of the issues raised may differ materially from the amounts accrued.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe estimate that it is reasonably possible that certain of our non-U.S. unrecognized tax benefits could change within 12Ìýmonths of the reporting date with a resulting decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits within a reasonably possible range of nil to $25Ìýmillion. For the 12-month period from the reporting date, we would expect that a substantial portion of the decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits would result in a corresponding benefit to our income tax expense.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2014, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (both federal and various states) and various non-U.S. jurisdictions including, but not limited to, China, France and Spain. During 2013, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (both federal and various states) and various non-U.S. jurisdictions including, but not limited to, China, France and Italy. During 2012, we concluded and effectively settled tax examinations in the U.S. (both federal and various states) and various non-U.S. jurisdictions including, but not limited to, Hong Kong, Thailand and Japan.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýFor non-U.S. entities that were not treated as branches for U.S. tax purposes, we do not provide for income taxes on the undistributed earnings of these subsidiaries that are reinvested and, in the opinion of management, will continue to be reinvested indefinitely. We have material intercompany debt obligations owed by our non-U.S. subsidiaries to the U.S. We do not intend to repatriate earnings to the U.S. via dividend based on estimates of future domestic cash generation and our ability to return cash to the U.S. through payments of intercompany debt owned by our non-U.S. subsidiaries to the U.S. To the extent that cash is required in the U.S., rather than repatriate earnings to the U.S. via dividends, we will repay certain of our intercompany debt. If any earnings were repatriated via dividend, we may need to accrue and pay taxes on the distributions.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýAs discussed, we made a distribution of a portion of our earnings in 2013 when the amount of foreign tax credits associated with the distribution was greater than the amount of tax otherwise due. The undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries with positive earnings that are deemed to be permanently invested were approximately $307Ìýmillion at DecemberÌý31, 2014. It is not practicable to determine the unrecognized deferred tax liability on those earnings because of the significant assumptions necessary to compute the tax.
