The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, U.S. state and local tax and tax in foreign jurisdictions. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.48% and 16.07% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 26.39% and 30.74% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The primary differences between the effective tax rate and the amount computed by applying the Luxembourg statutory rate of 24.94% are related to losses not expected to be benefited in certain jurisdictions that have a valuation allowance, permanently non-deductible compensation, non-taxable gain on contingent earn-out, withholding taxes accrued on unremitted earnings and the impact of foreign tax rate differences.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. While the Company expects to realize the remaining net deferred tax assets, changes in future taxable income or in tax laws may alter this expectation and result in future increases to the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily relates to net operating loss that, in the judgment of the Company, are not more likely than not to be realized.
The Company evaluates its tax positions and recognizes only tax benefits that, more likely than not, will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50.0% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company did not have any uncertain tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 and 2021. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company files income tax returns in Luxembourg, U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, and other foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2022, tax years 2018 through 2020 are subject to examination by the tax authorities in the U.S. The Alberta, Canada audit concluded as of January 12, 2022 and no material adjustments were identified.
