13.   Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were (4.7)% and (7.7)% , respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were (3.9)% and (16.9)%, respectively.   The United States statutory tax rate for the same periods was 35%.   Compared to the United States statutory rate, the lower effective tax rates for all periods resulted primarily from the provision of a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to utilize such deferred tax assets in the future to offset taxable income.  Income tax expense for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2017 resulted from (i) the recognition as income tax expense for taxes paid in prior years resulting from the sale of rental equipment to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and (ii) the recognition of a valuation allowance against a foreign tax credit realized on rental revenues invoiced outside the United States.
