C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and its 80 percent (or more) owned U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. We file unitary or separate state returns based on state filing requirements. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to audits of U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax returns before 2009.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 38.3 percent and 36.6 percent, respectively. The lower rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was primarily due to foreign tax credits.
