INCOME TAXES
11. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of items discrete to the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2011 was an expense of 30.7% as compared to an expense of 27.2% for the Fiscal 2010 comparable period. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2011 was an expense of 33.0% compared to a benefit of 6.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010. The second quarter 2010 rate was favorably impacted by the provision-to-return adjustments for certain jurisdictions and the resolution of tax controversies including the Company’s Advanced Pricing Agreement negotiation that was before the U.S. Competent Authority.
Cash payments of income taxes made during the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010 were approximately $34.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively. Cash payments of income taxes made during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010 were approximately $101.6 million and $17.9 million respectively.
