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 discrete items incurred during the period. The effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013 were 29.3% and 53.7%, respectively. The Fiscal 2013 first quarter provision reflects a benefit resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits.
Income taxes paid directly to taxing authorities, net of refunds received, for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013 were approximately $57.1 million and $101.7 million, respectively. These amounts include payments and refunds for income and withholding taxes incurred related to the current year and prior years.
