We review our expected annual effective income tax rates and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts from future tax audits with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; impacts from tax law changes; or change in judgment as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. We identify items which are non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of such items is recorded in the quarter in which the related events occur. Due to the volatility of these factors, our consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly quarter over quarter. We conduct business globally and, as a result, we file income tax returns in the United States and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to periodic examination in such domestic and foreign jurisdictions by tax authorities. We are currently under audit in the United States for fiscal 2016 through fiscal 2018. While the amount of uncertain tax impacts with respect to the entities and years under audit may change within the next twelve months, it is not anticipated that any of the changes will be significant. It is reasonably possible that some of these audits may be completed during the next twelve months and that various issues relating to uncertain tax impacts will be resolved within the next twelve months as exams are completed or as statutes expire and will impact the effective tax rate.Our consolidated effective tax rate was
58.8% and 23.4% respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared with 24.8% and 25.0% in the prior year periods. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate due to state taxes and other nonrecurring events that may
not be predictable. |
