Income Tax Disclosure Text Block	10. INCOME TAXES Tax Rate For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 The effective income tax rate was 39.5% which was determined using a forecasted rate based upon taxable income for the year. The effective income tax rate is typically higher in the first quarter of the year primarily due to: (i) the seasonality of the business which results in a lower reported figure for income before income taxes; and (ii) the disproportionate impact that discrete items may have on such lower reported income before income taxes figures. Tax Rate For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 The effective income tax rate was 19.8%, which was determined using a forecasted rate based upon taxable income for the year. The income tax rate was estimated to be lower than in previous years primarily due to: (i) an income tax benefit resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted on December 22, 2017 which reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate; and (ii) a reduction in non-deductible transaction costs in 2018 due to the closing of the Merger on November 17, 2017. Net Deferred Tax Assets And Liabilities As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, net deferred tax liabilities were $547.0 million and $546.0 million, respectively. The income tax accounting process to determine the deferred tax liabilities involves estimating all temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company estimated the current exposure by assessing the temporary differences and computing the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated effective tax rate to income.
