6 million related to a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary and a net tax expense of $6.8 million related to return-to-provision and other adjustments.Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes a net discrete income tax benefit of $0.2 million, of which a tax benefit of $8.4 million relates to changes in our reserve for uncertain tax positions and a tax benefit of $0.9 million relates to return-to-provision adjustments, partially offset by a net tax expense of $9.1 million related to the tax on gain on sale of Avinode.Our income tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rates for the 2025 and 2024 years, respectively.

Through June 30, 2025, we have received final tax assessments for the 2013 through 2019 tax years of approximately $124.6 million (DKK 788.7 million), and proposed tax assessments for the 2020 and 2021 tax years of approximately $27.1 million (DKK 171.5 million), excluding interest, which would be material. We believe we have substantial defenses to these assessments and expect to continue to pursue available administrative and judicial remedies to resolve this matter.An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or cash flows in the quarter or year in which the adjustments are recorded, or the tax is due or paid. As examinations are still in process or have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process, the timing of the
