NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES
Our forecasted annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) at September 30, 2020 was 12.0%, as compared to 16.5% at September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) inclusion related to the PGP acquisition and other changes in permanent book-to-tax differences for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 12.7% and 0.8%, respectively. The increase in the ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is a result of favorable discrete items from the comparable prior-year period that are not recurring in the current period. |
